322×1
322×1 refers to a mathematical multiplication problem where the number 322 is multiplied by the number 1. The fundamental property of multiplication by one, often called the multiplicative identity, states that any number multiplied by one results in that same number. Therefore, the solution to 322×1 is 322. This principle is a foundational concept in arithmetic and algebra, essential for understanding more complex mathematical operations. The number 322 is a composite number, meaning it has divisors other than 1 and itself. Its prime factorization is 2 × 7 × 23. However, in the context of multiplying by one, the specific factors of 322 are not relevant to the outcome. The operation 322×1 is a simple demonstration of the identity property of multiplication.
