103×59

103×59 denotes the product of two integers, 103 and 59, and is a standard example of multiplication in base-10 arithmetic.

Calculation can be done in several equivalent ways. One route is to break 103 into 100 and 3: (100+3)×59 = 5900 + 177 = 6077. Another route uses 60: 103×59 = 103×60 − 103 = 6180 − 103 = 6077. Both methods yield the same result.

The product is 6077. Both factors, 103 and 59, are prime numbers, so the prime factorization of the product is simply 103 × 59. Consequently, 6077 is a composite number with exactly two prime factors.

Representation in other numeral systems can be noted for completeness: in decimal it is 6077; in hexadecimal it is 0x17BD; in binary it is 0001011110111101.

Context and use: 103×59 can represent the area of a rectangle with sides 103 and 59 units, totaling 6077 square units. It also serves as a straightforward example in teaching multiplication algorithms, factorization concepts, and basic number representations without any special properties beyond its factors.
