To multiply \( 4 \) by \( -58 \):

\[ 4 \times -58 = -232 \]

Now, we can convert \(-232\) into a mixed number. Since \(-232\) is a whole number, it can be expressed as:

\[ -232 = -232 \frac{0}{1} \]

Therefore, a mixed number form with a fractional part of 0 is not useful here.

None of the provided responses seem to match the correct answer of \(-232\). However, let's verify other similar calculations:

If we reconsider the mixed number options you provided, none of them appear to be directly correct as \(-232\).
