Question

Simplify 147 squared

Answer 1

To simplify \(147\) squared, you calculate \(147^2\):

\[
147^2 = 147 \times 147
\]

Calculating that, we can do it step by step:

1. \(147 \times 100 = 14700\)
2. \(147 \times 40 = 5880\)
3. \(147 \times 7 = 1029\)

Now, we can add these results together:

\[
14700 + 5880 + 1029 = 21609
\]

Thus, \(147^2 = 21609\).

So, the simplified result of \(147\) squared is:

\[
\boxed{21609}
\]
