find twenty four thousand three hundred twenty one added to itself 25 times

Question

find twenty four thousand three hundred twenty one added to itself 25 times

Answer 1

Add a number x to itself once: x + x = x + 1x = 2x

Add a number x to itself twice: x + (x + x) = x + 2x = 3x

Add a number x to itself three times: x + (x + x + x) = x + 3x = 4x

 

A pattern emerges.  Add a number x to itself N times: x + (Nx) = (N + 1)x

 

So if you add 24,321 to itself 25 times, you would get

 

(25 + 1)(24,321) = (26)(24,321) = 632,346

Answer 2

That's the same as 24,321 * 26 = 632,346
