multiply: $98 \times 6$

Explanation:

Step1: Rewrite 98 as 100-2

$98 = 100 - 2$

Step2: Apply distributive property

$(100 - 2) \times 6 = 100 \times 6 - 2 \times 6$

Step3: Calculate each product

$100 \times 6 = 600$, $2 \times 6 = 12$

Step4: Subtract the two results

$600 - 12 = 588$

Answer:

588
