1. The problem is to multiply 47 by 56. 2. The formula for multiplication is simply $a \times b$ where $a=47$ and $b=56$. 3. Multiply the numbers: $47 \times 56$. 4. Calculate step-by-step: - $47 \times 50 = 2350$ - $47 \times 6 = 282$ 5. Add the partial products: $2350 + 282 = 2632$. 6. Therefore, the final answer is $2632$.
