Answer 1

To find the product of \(38\) and \(-23\):

\[ 38 \times (-23) = -874 \]

Now we need to reduce the answer into lowest terms, but since \(-874\) is an integer already, we don’t have fractions to simplify.

The answer is \(-874\).

However, since there seems to be a misunderstanding with the provided choices, it appears none of the options match the calculated result.

If the question is only looking for the product of \(38\) and \(-23\), the correct final answer is:

\(-874\)
