Question 899992
 Choose either of the factors to form a sum.


{{{(4+8)*34}}}, you could do it this way but not as convenient.


Try instead

{{{12(17+17)}}}, also will work, but maybe not so convenient.


Try to choose something that may make the computing easiest.


{{{(6+6)*34}}}, not bad if you can figure 3*17=51, so 6*17=102; 6*34=204.
Just  a choice that will work as correctly as any other, but ...
{{{(6+6)*34}}}
{{{6*34+6*34}}}
{{{204+204}}}
{{{408}}}


Another way:
{{{12(10+10+10+4)}}}
{{{120+120+120+48}}}
{{{360+48}}}
{{{408}}}
