Explanation

Approximate the values: 23 * 19 * 8. 23 * 19 is approx 437. 437 * 8 = 3496, which is approximately 3500.

AI explanation

We approximate the values to their nearest integers, making the expression 23 x 19 x 8. Multiplying the first two numbers gives 23 x 19 = 437. We then multiply 437 by 8 to get 3496, making the closest approximate value 3500.
