56×100

56×100 is an arithmetic expression representing the product of the integers 56 and 100. In standard arithmetic, it evaluates to 5,600.

Multiplying by 100 is commonly described as shifting the decimal two places to the right; for integers, this operation simply appends two zeros, yielding 5600. The result is a multiple of 100 and ends with two trailing zeros, reflecting divisibility by 100.

The operation is commutative, meaning 56×100 equals 100×56, with both products equal to 5,600. In scientific notation, 5,600 can be written as 5.6×10^3. This example also illustrates how multiplication by powers of 10 scales numbers by simple decimal shifts.

In practical terms, 56×100 might arise in contexts such as pricing, quantities, or measurements where a quantity of 56 units is scaled by a factor of 100. It serves as a basic example of multiplication in elementary arithmetic and is often used to teach the properties of numbers and the behavior of multiplying by powers of ten.
