1. The problem is to calculate the product of 44 and 44. 2. We multiply the two numbers: $$44 \times 44$$. 3. To simplify, we can use the formula for the square of a number: $$a^2 = a \times a$$. 4. Here, $$a = 44$$, so $$44 \times 44 = 44^2$$. 5. Calculate $$44^2$$: $$44^2 = 44 \times 44 = 1936$$. 6. Therefore, the answer is 1936.
