2278 2276 = 2278(2) = 45216

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

My apologies for the misunderstanding. Assuming you meant to find the product, 2278 * 2276 can be simplified as:

2278 * 2276 = (2 * 1139) * (2 * 1138)
= 2^2 * 1139 * 1138
= 4 * 1,297,582

So, 2278 * 2276 simplifies to 1,297,582.
