148 × 153

To calculate \(148 \times 153\), you can use the distributive property or directly multiply.

Here’s one way to do it:

\[ 148 \times 153 = 148 \times (150 + 3) \] \[ = 148 \times 150 + 148 \times 3 \] Calculating each part:

\[ 148 \times 150 = 22200 \quad (\text{since } 148 \times 100 = 14800 \text{ and } 14800 + 7400 = 22200) \] \[ 148 \times 3 = 444 \] Now adding these results together:

\[ 22200 + 444 = 22644 \]

Thus, \(148 \times 153 = 22644\).
