Solve the Multiplication: 5 × 17 × 2 Step-by-Step

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, in an exercise where there is only one multiplication operation, the order of the numbers can be changed.

Hence we can rearrange the exercise to obtain a round number that will help us later in the solution:

$5\times2\times17=$

Now we solve the exercise from left to right:

$5\times2=10$

$10\times17=170$
