23×37

23×37 refers to the mathematical operation of multiplication between the numbers 23 and 37. The result of this multiplication is 851. This can be calculated by performing the standard multiplication algorithm. First, multiply 37 by 3, which yields 111. Then, multiply 37 by 20, which results in 740. Adding these two intermediate products, 111 + 740, gives the final answer of 851. Alternatively, one could use the distributive property. For example, 23×37 can be seen as (20+3)×37, which equals 20×37 + 3×37, or 740 + 111, resulting in 851. The numbers 23 and 37 are both prime numbers. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Therefore, the product 851 is a composite number, meaning it can be factored into smaller integers other than 1 and itself. In this case, its prime factors are 23 and 37.
