In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies objects (numbers or variables) to be multiplied, called factors.For example, 21 is the product of 3 and 7 (the result of multiplication), and (+) is the product of and (+) (indicating that the two factors should be multiplied together).
24 is an even composite number, a highly composite number, an abundant number, a practical number, and a congruent number.The many ways 24 can be constructed inspired a children's mathematical game involving the use of any of the four standard operations on four numbers on a card to get 24 (see 24 Game).
Dividing 272 and 8, starting with the hundreds digit, 2 is not divisible by 8. Add 20 and 7 to get 27. The largest number that the divisor of 8 can be multiplied by without exceeding 27 is 3, so it is written under the tens column. Subtracting 24 (the product of 3 and 8) from 27 gives 3 as the remainder.
The product of non-negative integers can be defined with set theory using cardinal numbers or the Peano axioms. See below how to extend this to multiplying arbitrary integers, and then arbitrary rational numbers. The product of real numbers is defined in terms of products of rational numbers; see construction of the real numbers. [32]
A factorial x! is the product of all numbers from 1 to x. The first: 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880, 3628800, 39916800, 479001600 (sequence A000142 in the OEIS). 0! = 1 is sometimes included. A k-smooth number (for a natural number k) has its prime factors ≤ k (so it is also j-smooth for any j > k).
For example, if n is 24, there are two prime factors (p 1 is 2; p 2 is 3); noting that 24 is the product of 2 3 ×3 1, a 1 is 3 and a 2 is 1. Thus we can calculate σ 0 ( 24 ) {\displaystyle \sigma _{0}(24)} as so:

Every composite number can be written as the product of two or more (not necessarily distinct) primes. [2] For example, the composite number 299 can be written as 13 × 23, and the composite number 360 can be written as 2 3 × 3 2 × 5; furthermore, this representation is unique up to the order of the factors.
