46×2

The mathematical expression 46×2 represents the operation of multiplying the number 46 by the number 2. This is a basic arithmetic calculation. To perform this multiplication, one can add 46 to itself, or use the standard multiplication algorithm. In the standard algorithm, one multiplies the digit in the ones place of 46 (which is 6) by 2, resulting in 12. The 2 is written in the ones place of the product, and the 1 is carried over to the tens place. Then, the digit in the tens place of 46 (which is 4) is multiplied by 2, yielding 8. The carried-over 1 is added to this result, making it 9. This 9 is written in the tens place of the product. Therefore, 46×2 equals 92. This operation is fundamental in understanding multiplication and its application in various mathematical contexts, such as calculating quantities, scaling values, or solving equations. The result, 92, is an even number, as it is the product of two even numbers.
