1. The problem is to multiply 69 by 52. 2. Multiply the numbers directly: $$69 \times 52$$. 3. Calculate step-by-step: - Multiply 69 by 50: $$69 \times 50 = 3450$$. - Multiply 69 by 2: $$69 \times 2 = 138$$. 4. Add the two results: $$3450 + 138 = 3588$$. 5. Therefore, the product of 69 and 52 is $$3588$$.
