Explanation

Using the property that 67×6867 \times 68 = 67 × (67 + 1) = 67×6767 \times 67 + 67×167 \times 1 = 67×6767 \times 67 + 67. So we add 67 to 4489.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Recognize that 68 = 67 + 1

  2. Step 2: 67×6867 \times 68 = 67 × (67 + 1) = 67×6767 \times 67 + 67

  3. Step 3: 67×6867 \times 68 = 4489 + 67 = 4556
