Muthuselvi Prabhu sends this comment:
The method of finding 432 × 47 is very interesting, and it leads to many more variations,
such as 243 × 47 (= 9400 + 2021 = 11,421).
And Usha Prabakar sends these examples:
43 x 47 = 2021
43 x 57 = 2021
+ 430
2451
53 x 57 = 3021
63 x 57 = +570
3591
53 x 57 = 3021
53 x 58 = +53
3074
453 x 457 = 207021
453 x 458 + 453
207474
207021
+ 4530
453 x 467 = 211551
