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

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

Now, we need to write \( -232 \) as a mixed number in simplest form. Since \( -232 \) is a whole number, it can be expressed as:

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

This does not provide a mixed number with a fraction. However, we can express \( -232 \) with a proper mixed number format, treating it as \( -232 \frac{0}{1} \).

None of the options provided in your question correspond directly to \( -232 \), but if you're looking for a conversion into another form, the options you’ve given likely contain a different interpretation. However, the answer remains as:

\[ -232 \]

In conclusion, the selected option would correspond closest to:

−232
