Work 47 × 62 with the cross method, handling the carries.
Compute the three column sums, then carry from right to left.
47 × 62, digits (4 7)(6 2):
- units: 7·2 = 14 → write 4, carry 1.
- cross: 4·2 + 7·6 = 8 + 42 = 50, + carry 1 = 51 → write 1, carry 5.
- hundreds: 4·6 = 24, + carry 5 = 29.
Read it off: 2914. Check: 47 × 62 = 2914. ✓ The carries are what most people fumble — resolve each column fully before moving left.
