Question

Find the product. $$(13)(-2)(-3)$$

Short answer

The product of these numbers is 78.

Step-by-step solution

Identify the Numbers

Notice that we have three numbers in the expression: 13, -2, and -3. Two of these numbers are negative (-2 and -3) and one of them is positive (13).

Multiply the Numbers

Now, we'll multiply them one by one. First, multiply 13 by -2 to get -26. Then, multiply -26 by -3.

Calculate the Final Product

The multiplication of -26 and -3 gives us 78. Remember that the product of two negative numbers is a positive number, so -26 times -3 equals 78.
