1602×10

1602×10 is a simple arithmetic product in base-10 numeration. It equals 16,020. Multiplying any integer by 10 appends a zero to its decimal representation, shifting the digits one place to the left. Therefore, 1602 × 10 becomes 16020; equivalently, 1,602 × 10 equals 16,020.

The result is a multiple of 10, and thus divisible by 2, 5, and 10. Prime factorization of the product can be shown as follows: 1602 = 2 × 3^2 × 89, and multiplying by 10 adds another 2 and a 5, giving 2^2 × 3^2 × 5 × 89 = 16,020. The number is also equal to 1.602 × 10^4 in scientific notation, and it is written in words as sixteen thousand twenty.

In practical terms, multiplying by 10 is a common operation for scaling values, unit conversions, or transitioning between orders of magnitude in calculations. The operation is straightforward and consistent across decimal arithmetic, and its effect on the digit representation is predictable: a trailing zero is added to the original number.
