Question

When multiplying 1729 times 308 Clayton got a product of 53353.Without calculating, does his product seem reasonable?

Answer 1

well, without actually doing the product, let's look, hmmmm ok 1729 when added 100 times is just 172900, pretty much just 1729 and two more zeros, well, holly guacamole, 172,900 is much larger than 53,353, and that's only 100 times not 308 times, so, hmmm there.
