Because it is relatively easy to divide the number into a group of 1 and 3. Much harder to do that with a 16-digit number!

What is the product of a 2 digit number and a 4 digit number is about 500000?

To find the product of a 2-digit number and a 4-digit number that is approximately 500,000, we need to consider the magnitude of the numbers involved. Since a 2-digit number ranges from 10 to 99 and a 4-digit number ranges from 1000 to 9999, their product will be in the range of 10,000 to 99,000,000. To get a product around 500,000, we can estimate that the 2-digit number is around 50 and the 4-digit number is around 10,000. Therefore, the product of a 50 and 10,000 is 500,000.
