Using properties of multiplication, we can easily multiply a two-digit number with a one-digit number.
In order to do so, decompose one factor and multiply the other factor by its parts using distributive property.
According to the distributive property of multiplication,
a × (b + c) = ab + ac
Here, a, b, and c are any three numbers (not equal to zero).
For example: Let's find the product 16 × 6.
First decompose 16 as 16 = 10 + 6.
So, we have:
16 × 6 = (10 + 6) × 6
= (10 × 6) + (6 × 6) [using distributive property]
= 60 + 36 [using multiplication facts]
= 96
So, 16 × 6 = 96.

The correct answer is
The smallest number is the one that comes first while counting.
To arrange the given numbers in order from smallest to greatest, find the smallest number among all the given numbers.
21,27,23
21 is the smallest number.
