Step 16: 13815 + 921 = 14736
Step 17: 14736 + 921 = 15657
Step 18: 15657 + 921 = 16578
Step 19: 16578 + 921 = 17499
Step 20: 17499 + 921 = 18420
Step 21: 18420 + 921 = 19341
Step 22: 19341 + 921 = 20262
Step 23: 20262 + 921 = 21183
Step 24: 21183 + 921 = 22104
Step 25: 22104 + 921 = 23025
Step 26: 23025 + 921 = 23946
Step 27: 23946 + 921 = 24867
Step 28: 24867 + 921 = 25788
Step 29: 25788 + 921 = 26709
Step 30: 26709 + 921 = 27630
Step 31: 27630 + 921 = 28551
Step 32: 28551 + 921 = 29472
Step 33: 29472 + 921 = 30393
Step 34: 30393 + 921 = 31314
Step 35: 31314 + 921 = 32235
Step 36: 32235 + 921 = 33156
Step 37: 33156 + 921 = 34077
Step 38: 34077 + 921 = 34998
Step 39: 34998 + 921 = 35919
Step 40: 35919 + 921 = 36840
Step 41: 36840 + 921 = 37761
Step 42: 37761 + 921 = 38682
Step 43: 38682 + 921 = 39603
Step 44: 39603 + 921 = 40524
Step 45: 40524 + 921 = 41445
Step 46: 41445 + 921 = 42366
Step 47: 42366 + 921 = 43287
Step 48: 43287 + 921 = 44208

So, 921*48 = 44208
