422×104

422×104 is a product of two integers. The result in decimal notation is 43,888.

A straightforward evaluation uses the distributive property: 422×104 = 422×(100+4) = 42,200 + 1,688 = 43,888. Another quick approach is to multiply 422 by 104 as (420+2)×104 = 420×104 + 2×104 = 43,680 + 208 = 43,888, confirming the same result.

Factorization of the factors shows how the product is constructed. 422 factors as 2 × 211, and 104 factors as 2^3 × 13. Hence the product can be written as 2^4 × 13 × 211, which equals 43,888. This prime factorization illustrates divisibility properties: the product is divisible by 16 (2^4), by 13, and by 211, among other divisors.

As a numerical value, 43,888 is an even integer and a five-digit number. It can be expressed in alternative bases, but in base 10 it stands as the ordinary result of the multiplication 422 by 104. The calculation is a typical example used in basic arithmetic to demonstrate the distributive property, commutativity of multiplication, and factorization techniques.
