1×212

1×212 denotes the product of the integers 1 and 212, using the multiplication operator represented by the times symbol. In arithmetic, the number 1 is known as the multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged.

Therefore, 1×212 evaluates to 212. This simple property underpins the identity element in the set of integers, as well as in other number systems such as rationals, reals, and complex numbers.

The prime factorization of 212 is 2^2 × 53. The expression 1×212 preserves this value, since multiplication by 1 does not alter the multiplicative structure.

In educational contexts, 1×n is often used to illustrate the identity property of multiplication, showing that the product with 1 yields the original number for any integer n. The notation 1×212 may also appear in lists, configurations, or coding contexts where a multiplier of 1 is specified, but as a numeric expression it evaluates to 212.
