To find the product of \(23 \times 4\), we can use various mathematical expressions. Here are three expressions that can be used:
-
Addition: \[ 23 + 23 + 23 + 23 \quad (\text{adding 23 four times}) \]
-
Multiplication (distributive property): \[ (20 + 3) \times 4 = (20 \times 4) + (3 \times 4) \]
-
Rearrangement: \[ 4 \times 23 \quad (\text{the commutative property of multiplication}) \]
These expressions all help to calculate \(23 \times 4\) in different ways.
