162×6

162 × 6 is a basic arithmetic operation. It can be computed directly as 162 × 6 = (100 × 6) + (60 × 6) + (2 × 6) = 600 + 360 + 12 = 972. Using the distributive property, it can also be written as 6 × (160 + 2) = 960 + 12 = 972. The product is 972.

Prime factorization shows 162 equals 2 × 3^4 and 6 equals 2 × 3, so 162 × 6 equals 2^2 × 3^5, which is 972. Consequently, 972 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 27, among other divisors. In decimal terms, 972 is an even number and a multiple of several common small integers.

In practical contexts, 162 × 6 may appear in elementary mathematics as an example for practicing multiplication, distributive property, or mental math. It provides a straightforward case for illustrating how factorization and place value influence the computation, and it yields a relatively small integer suitable for classroom problems and check calculations.
