Multiply three digits by two digits. The product may be four digits or five digits. The smallest three digits and two digits are 100 and 10, and the product is 1000 and four digits. The largest three digits and two digits are 999 and 99, and the product is 9890 1, five digits. So the answer is: the product may be four digits or five digits.

Multiplication is a shortcut to add up the same numbers.

The result of its operation is called product, and "X" is the symbol of multiplication. From the philosophical point of view, multiplication is the result of qualitative change caused by additive quantity. The multiplication of integers (including negative numbers), rational numbers (fractions) and real numbers is a systematic summary of this basic definition.

Multiplication can also be seen as calculating the objects arranged in a rectangle (integer) or finding the area of a rectangle with a given side length. The area of the rectangle does not depend on which side is measured first, which shows the exchange property. The product of two measured values is a new type of measurement, for example, multiplying the length of two sides of a rectangle to get its area, which is the theme of size analysis.

Multiplication is one of the simplest operations in arithmetic. It originated from the multiplication of integers.
