To solve the equation \( x^2 - 47x = 0 \), we can factor the left-hand side:
\[ x(x - 47) = 0 \]
Setting each factor equal to zero gives us the possible solutions:
- \( x = 0 \)
- \( x - 47 = 0 \) which simplifies to \( x = 47 \)
Thus, the solutions are:
\[ x = 0, 47 \]
Therefore, the final answer is:
\[ x = 0, 47 \]
