23×29
23×29 refers to the product of the integers 23 and 29. This mathematical operation results in the number 667. Both 23 and 29 are prime numbers, meaning they are only divisible by 1 and themselves. Their multiplication is a straightforward arithmetic calculation. The number 667 has a unique position as a semiprime, being the product of two distinct prime numbers. In number theory, the study of prime numbers and their properties is fundamental. The calculation of 23×29 can be performed using various methods, including standard multiplication algorithms. For example, 23 multiplied by 29 can be broken down as (20 + 3) × (20 + 9), leading to 20×20 + 20×9 + 3×20 + 3×9, which equals 400 + 180 + 60 + 27, summing to 667. Alternatively, one could calculate 23 × 30 - 23, resulting in 690 - 23, which also yields 667. The number 667 itself does not possess any widely recognized special properties beyond being a semiprime.
