Explanation:

Step1: Identify place value of 5

The first digit of the quotient 581 is 5, which is in the hundreds place, so it represents 500.

Step2: Calculate 34 × 500

$34 \times 500 = 17000$? No, wait, in long division, we look at the first few digits: 197 (from 19785). 34×5=170, where 5 is 500? No, correction: The 5 in 581 is 5 hundreds, so $34 \times 5 = 170$, and this 170 represents 170 hundreds (17000), but the 170 shown is $34 \times 5$.

Step3: Match to the option

The 170 is $34 \times 5$, so it's the result of multiplying 34 by 5.

5
