24×10

24×10 denotes the product of the integers 24 and 10 in multiplication. The computed value is 240. In base-10 arithmetic, multiplying by 10 shifts the digits one place to the left and appends a zero, so 24 becomes 240.

Formal properties: The operation is commutative: 24×10 = 10×24 = 240. Prime factorization: 24 = 2^3 × 3 and 10 = 2 × 5; the product is 2^4 × 3 × 5 = 240. The number 240 is composite with multiple divisors, including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, and 240.

Applications and contexts: 24×10 is a standard example in elementary arithmetic used to illustrate multiplying by 10 and scaling by ten. It can model scenarios such as buying 24 items at a price of 10 currency units each, yielding 240 currency units; or 24 groups of 10 minutes equals 240 minutes, i.e., four hours.

Notes: In other base systems, multiplying by the base shifts digits left by one place, so the same pattern applies in the appropriate numeral system; this example is most commonly discussed in base-10 arithmetic.

Overall, 24×10 is a straightforward illustration of place value and arithmetic multiplication, yielding the result 240.
