23×100

23 × 100 is the product of the integers 23 and 100. In base-10 arithmetic, multiplying by 100 shifts the digits two places to the left, so 23 × 100 = 2300. In words, this equals two thousand three hundred. The calculation can also be seen as (23 × 10) × 10 = 230 × 10 = 2300, illustrating the place-value rule that multiplying by 100 appends two zeros to the number’s decimal representation.

Properties and notation: multiplication is commutative, so 23 × 100 = 100 × 23. It is also associative with other factors, meaning the grouping of multiplications does not affect the product. The operation is a binary arithmetic operation defined for real numbers, integers, and many other number systems, and is often denoted by the multiplication sign × or by a centered dot.

Context and usage: multiplying by 100 is a common way to scale quantities by a factor of one hundred, such as in pricing, totals, or area calculations. For example, a rectangle with sides measuring 23 and 100 units has an area of 23 × 100 = 2300 square units. The result, 2300, is an exact integer and thus straightforward to interpret in most practical contexts.
