4×2×3×2

4×2×3×2 is a multiplicative expression that multiplies four integers: 4, 2, 3, and 2. Its value is 48, since 4×2×3×2 = (4×2)×(3×2) = 8×6 = 48.

Because multiplication is associative and commutative, the factors may be rearranged or regrouped without changing the result. For example, (4×3)×(2×2) = 12×4 = 48, and equivalently 4×(2×3×2) = 4×12 = 48.

Prime factorization: 48 factors into primes as 2^4 × 3. This follows from 4 = 2^2 and 4×2×3×2 = 2^2 × 2 × 3 × 2 = 2^4 × 3. The factorization is useful for simplifying products or comparing divisors.

Applications and interpretation: The product can appear in various mathematical contexts, such as scaling factors, combinatorial counts, or geometric calculations when factors are interpreted as dimensions or rates. It also serves as a straightforward example of how to combine several integers into a single product and to illustrate the usefulness of prime factorization in understanding a number’s structure.
