To determine the product of 72 and 50, you need to multiply these two numbers together. Let's break down the process step by step:

Step 1: Multiply the ones digit (the last digit) of the two numbers together.
- In this case, multiply 2 (from 72) by 0 (from 50). The result is 0.

Step 2: Multiply the tens digit of the first number (7 in 72) with the ones digit of the second number (0 in 50). Remember to carry any resulting tens to the next step.
- Multiply 7 by 0. The result is 0.

Step 3: Multiply the ones digit of the first number (2 in 72) by the tens digit of the second number (5 in 50). Remember to carry any resulting tens to the next step.
- Multiply 2 by 5. The result is 10.

Step 4: Multiply the tens digit of the first number (7 in 72) by the tens digit of the second number (5 in 50).
- Multiply 7 by 5. The result is 35.

Step 5: Add the results from steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 together.
- 0 (step 1) + 0 (step 2) + 10 (step 3) + 35 (step 4) = 45.

Therefore, the product of 72 and 50 is indeed 3,600, not 45.
