Calculate the Product: 2 × 3 × 43 Step-by-Step

First, we solve the exercise from left to right.

We apply the associative property in order to simplify the exercise making it easier to solve:

$2\times3=6$

Resulting in the following calculation:

$6\times43=$

We then decompose 43 into smaller parts rendering the equation easier to solve:

$6\times(40+3)=$

We apply the distributive property in order to solve the equation.

We then multiply 6 by each of the terms inside the parentheses:

$(6\times40)+(6\times3)=$

Resulting in the following solution:

$240+18=258$
