Step 8: 1547 + 221 = 1768
Step 9: 1768 + 221 = 1989
Step 10: 1989 + 221 = 2210
Step 11: 2210 + 221 = 2431
Step 12: 2431 + 221 = 2652
Step 13: 2652 + 221 = 2873
Step 14: 2873 + 221 = 3094
Step 15: 3094 + 221 = 3315
Step 16: 3315 + 221 = 3536
Step 17: 3536 + 221 = 3757
Step 18: 3757 + 221 = 3978
Step 19: 3978 + 221 = 4199
Step 20: 4199 + 221 = 4420
Step 21: 4420 + 221 = 4641
Step 22: 4641 + 221 = 4862
Step 23: 4862 + 221 = 5083
Step 24: 5083 + 221 = 5304
Step 25: 5304 + 221 = 5525
Step 26: 5525 + 221 = 5746
Step 27: 5746 + 221 = 5967
Step 28: 5967 + 221 = 6188
Step 29: 6188 + 221 = 6409
Step 30: 6409 + 221 = 6630
Step 31: 6630 + 221 = 6851
Step 32: 6851 + 221 = 7072
Step 33: 7072 + 221 = 7293
Step 34: 7293 + 221 = 7514
Step 35: 7514 + 221 = 7735
Step 36: 7735 + 221 = 7956
Step 37: 7956 + 221 = 8177
Step 38: 8177 + 221 = 8398
Step 39: 8398 + 221 = 8619
Step 40: 8619 + 221 = 8840
Step 41: 8840 + 221 = 9061
Step 42: 9061 + 221 = 9282
Step 43: 9282 + 221 = 9503
Step 44: 9503 + 221 = 9724
Step 45: 9724 + 221 = 9945
Step 46: 9945 + 221 = 10166
Step 47: 10166 + 221 = 10387
Step 48: 10387 + 221 = 10608

So, 221*48 = 10608
