34×7

34×7 refers to the mathematical operation of multiplying the number 34 by the number 7. This is a fundamental arithmetic problem that can be solved through various methods, including standard multiplication algorithms or by breaking down the numbers.

When performing the multiplication 34×7, one can think of it as (30 + 4) × 7. Using the distributive property, this expands to (30 × 7) + (4 × 7). Calculating each part separately, 30 × 7 equals 210, and 4 × 7 equals 28. Adding these two results together, 210 + 28, yields the final product of 238.

Alternatively, a standard vertical multiplication method can be employed. Write 34 above 7. Multiply the units digit of 34 (which is 4) by 7, resulting in 28. Write down the 8 and carry over the 2. Then, multiply the tens digit of 34 (which is 3) by 7, giving 21. Add the carried-over 2 to this result: 21 + 2 = 23. Write down 23 to the left of the 8. The final answer obtained through this method is also 238.

The result of 34×7, which is 238, is a whole number, also known as an integer. This calculation is a common example used in elementary mathematics to teach multiplication concepts and reinforce number sense. The product 238 signifies that seven groups of thirty-four contain a total of 238 items.
