To multiply the two numbers, \(98\) and \(54\), follow these steps:
\[ 98 \times 54 \]
You can break it down into smaller parts using the distributive property:
\[ = 98 \times (50 + 4) \] \[ = 98 \times 50 + 98 \times 4 \] Now, calculate each part:
- \(98 \times 50 = 4900\)
- \(98 \times 4 = 392\)
Now, add the results together:
\[ 4900 + 392 = 5292 \]
Therefore, the final result is:
\[ 98 \times 54 = 5292 \]
