Make an estimate and solve the estimated problem 572×33

Answer 1

To estimate the product of 572 and 33, we can round the numbers to make the multiplication simpler.

• Round 572 to 600
• Round 33 to 30

Now we can multiply the rounded numbers:

\[ 600 \times 30 = 18000 \]

So, the estimated product of 572 and 33 is approximately 18,000.

Now, let's calculate the exact product of 572 and 33.

\[ 572 \times 33 \]

To do this, we can break it down:

\[ 572 \times 33 = 572 \times (30 + 3) = 572 \times 30 + 572 \times 3 \]

Calculating each part:

1. \(572 \times 30 = 17160\)
2. \(572 \times 3 = 1716\)

Now, add the two results together:

\[ 17160 + 1716 = 18876 \]

Therefore, the exact product of 572 and 33 is 18,876.
