To find the product of 12 and 6, we calculate:

\[ 12 \times 6 = 72. \]

Now, regarding the other numbers provided:

  • 2.6307 - This is a rational number (as it can be expressed as a fraction).
  • 4.1569 - This is also a rational number.
  • 2.8867... - If it is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal, it would be irrational. Otherwise, it could be rational (but typically, without further context, we'd consider repeating decimals as rational).
  • 4.2974 - This is a rational number as well.

Given that the product, 72, is a whole number, it is classified as a rational number.

So, the product of 12 and 6 is 72, which is a rational number.
