What is 131•47

Question

How do I solve this

Answer 1

Anthony P. answered the question very well.  To check your answer, divide 6157 by 47 and you should get 131.  Otherwise you have to start over and check your steps for mistakes.

Answer 2

  131
 x 47
   917
+5240
  6157

Multiply 7 x 131 to get 917 on the first line, add your zero place holder on the second line and multiply 4 x 131 to get 524, then sum first and second lines together.
