What is 48 × 7?

Answer

48 × 7 =
336

48 × 7 and 7 × 48 are the same product — the order of the factors never changes the answer, only the working. Below, 48 is multiplied by 7 in a column, digit by digit.

48 × 7 in a Column

The multiplicand goes on top, the multiplier underneath, both aligned on the right. The multiplier has a single digit, so there is one partial product and the answer goes straight under the line.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Multiply the multiplicand by the last digit of the multiplier, 7: 48 × 7 = 336.

  • 8 × 7 = 56. Write 6 and carry 5.
  • 4 × 7 = 28, plus the carried 5 makes 33. Write 3 and carry 3.
  • No digits are left, so the carried 3 is written in front: the partial product is 336.

Check It, and What It Is Not

Check by dividing back. Multiplication and division undo each other, so 336 ÷ 7 = 48 must come out exactly, with no remainder.

Fractions are a different calculation. Both factors here are whole numbers; for 2/3 or 2 3/4 use the fraction multiplication calculator, which multiplies numerators and denominators separately.

48 × 7 is a number, not an area. If those are the sides of a room in feet, the answer is 336 square feet — the same arithmetic, a different question, and it is answered by the square footage calculator.

Long Multiplication Calculator

This calculator multiplies two whole numbers the way it is done on paper: digit by digit, carrying where the column overflows, then adding the partial products together. For example, it can help you find out what is 48 × 7? (The answer is: 336). Enter the multiplicand (e.g. '48') and the multiplier (e.g. '7') and hit the button. The order of the two numbers does not matter — 48 × 7 and 7 × 48 are the same product — so either number can go on top. Fractions and mixed numbers belong to the fraction multiplication calculator, and the reverse operation is long division.

48 × 7 = 336

Is 48 × 7 the same as 7 × 48?

Yes. Multiplication is commutative, so both come to 336. Only the working differs: this page multiplies by 7, which gives a single partial product.

How do you check that 48 × 7 = 336?

Divide the product back by one of the factors: 336 ÷ 7 = 48 exactly, with no remainder. Multiplication and division undo each other, which is what makes this check work.

What are the partial products of 48 × 7?
