278×1020

278×1020 is the product of the integers 278 and 1020. The computed value is 283,560.

Factorization and calculation methods provide a concise view of the number. 278 = 2 × 139 and 1020 = 2^2 × 3 × 5 × 17, so the product can be expressed as 278×1020 = 2^3 × 3 × 5 × 17 × 139 = 283,560. A straightforward calculation uses expansion: 278 × 1020 = 278 × (1000 + 20) = 278,000 + 5,560 = 283,560. Another route is 278 × 102 = 28,356, then multiplying by 10 yields 283,560.

Numerical properties follow from the factorization. The product is even and divisible by 2, 3, 5, 8, and 10, among other divisors that can be formed from its prime factors. In prime terms, the prime factorization of 283,560 is 2^3 × 3 × 5 × 17 × 139, which confirms its divisibility by the listed primes and by any product of a subset of these primes.

Context and usage are typical of arithmetic examples: multiplying two integers to obtain a larger product, which can model areas, scaling problems, or demonstrations of distributive and factoring techniques. There are no special constants or widely known significance attached specifically to 278×1020 beyond its role as a concrete multiplication example.
