3*29 = 87
The answer depends on the units used for 48. It should be blindingly obvious to anybody that the answer for 48 minutes and 48 days will be very different.
1x16, 2x8, 4x4
At most n-1. However, it can be a lot fewer. For example, calculating A10 does not require 9 multiplications. A*A = A2 A2*A2 = A4 A4*A4 = A8 A8*A2 = A10 Only 4 multiplications were required.
2 3 4 6 8 12 16 24 are the distinct/different factors of 48
No Willow Smith does not quiet now all her multiplications. She is 10 and in the 5th grade. She is, right now, as you are reading this learning her multiplications.
lower computational complexity and requires fewer multiplications
1x2 2x1
3*29 = 87
12 x 4 = 48 or to phrase it a different way: if 12y = 48 y = 48/12 = 4
The answer depends on the units used for 48. It should be blindingly obvious to anybody that the answer for 48 minutes and 48 days will be very different.
It could be just the multiplications of seven for sevens
1x16, 2x8, 4x4

48 = 7 + 41, 48 = 11 + 37, 48 = 17 + 31, and 48 = 19 + 29
