To find the numerical equivalent of \( 81 \cdot 83 \), we can use the difference of squares formula, which states:

\[
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
\]

In this case, we can express it as:

\[
81 \cdot 83 = (82 - 1)(82 + 1) = 82^2 - 1^2
\]

Calculating \( 82^2 \):

\[
82^2 = 6724
\]

Then calculate \( 1^2 \):

\[
1^2 = 1
\]

Now subtract these:

\[
81 \cdot 83 = 82^2 - 1 = 6724 - 1 = 6723
\]

Therefore, the numerical equivalent of \( 81 \cdot 83 \) is \( 6723 \).

Since this isn't included in your options, it seems there was a misunderstanding in interpretation. Therefore, I can clarify that \( 81 \cdot 83 \) equals \( 6723 \) not any of the options you presented.
