23×6

23×6 represents the product of the integers 23 and 6. The result is 138. In standard base-10 arithmetic, 23×6 can be computed by breaking 23 into 20 and 3: 6×20 = 120 and 6×3 = 18, and then summing to obtain 138. The operation is commutative, so 6×23 also equals 138.

The number 138 is even and divisible by 2 and by 3, as its digit sum is 12. Its prime factorization is 2 × 3 × 23. The factorization reflects its composition from the factors 2, 3, and 23, and it demonstrates how multiplication can be decomposed into prime components.

In practical terms, 23×6 can model the area of a rectangle with sides measuring 23 units and 6 units, yielding an area of 138 square units. It also appears in the context of multiplication tables, specifically as a member of the 6 times table and of the 23 times table.
