Question

Estimate 906×39 explain

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To estimate the product of \(906 \times 39\), we can round the numbers to make the multiplication easier.

1. **Rounding**:
- Round \(906\) to \(900\).
- Round \(39\) to \(40\).

2. **Multiply the rounded numbers**:
\[
900 \times 40 = 36000
\]

So, the estimated product of \(906 \times 39\) is approximately \(36000\).

### Verification
Now, let's do the actual multiplication for a more precise answer:

\[
906 \times 39
\]

Breaking it down:

\[
906 \times 30 = 27180
\]
\[
906 \times 9 = 8154
\]

Now we add these two products together:

\[
27180 + 8154 = 35334
\]

Thus, the actual product is \(35334\).

### Conclusion
The estimated product of \(36000\) is fairly close to the actual product of \(35334\), which shows that estimation can be a quick way to gauge the magnitude of a multiplication.
