3×31

3×31 denotes the product of the integers 3 and 31. In plain terms, it represents three groups of thirty-one items, or thirty-one added to itself three times. The result is 93.

From a mathematical standpoint, 31 is a prime number and 3 is also prime, so the prime factorization of the product 93 is 3 × 31. Consequently, the positive divisors of 93 are 1, 3, 31, and 93. The operation is commutative, so 3×31 equals 31×3.

A common way to compute 3×31 is to use the distributive property: 3×31 = 3×(30+1) = 3×30 + 3×1 = 90 + 3 = 93. This illustrates how multiplication distributes over addition in decimal arithmetic.

In broader contexts, 93 is a two-digit composite number that can be expressed as the product of two primes, 3 and 31. It appears in basic multiplication tables and serves as a straightforward example of multiplying a one-digit number by a two-digit number. In everyday use, 3×31 can be encountered in counting scenarios, scheduling with lengths of 31 days in some months, or in any situation requiring a quick calculation of a tripled thirty-one.
