1×32

1×32 denotes the product of 1 and 32. The result is 32. In mathematics, 1 is the multiplicative identity, so multiplying any number by 1 leaves it unchanged.

As a dimension, 1×32 describes a rectangle with dimensions 1 by 32, which has an area of 32 square units. It can also be interpreted as a 1-by-32 matrix, i.e., a row vector with 32 elements, in linear algebra.

In computing and data representation, 1×32 sometimes appears in descriptions of arrays, data widths, or bit fields, for example a line consisting of 32 bits.

In woodworking and carpentry, a nominal 1×32 board refers to a strip sized about 1 inch by 32 inches on the nominal scale; actual finished dimensions are typically around 3/4 inch by 31.5 inches due to standard milling and seasoning. The nominal sizing system often differs from the final measurements.

Overall, 1×32 is most commonly interpreted as either a simple arithmetic product, a geometric dimension, or a descriptor for a long, narrow item in practical contexts, with the common value always being 32 in the multiplicative sense.
