Explanation

Step 1:
Take half of the first number.

Step 2:
Take half of the second number.

Step 3:
Concatenate the two halves (treating them as digits).

Let's verify with the given examples:

• 6 × 2:
  Half of 6 is 3 and half of 2 is 1. Concatenating these gives 31.

• 8 × 4:
  Half of 8 is 4 and half of 4 is 2. Concatenating these gives 42.

• 2 × 2:
  Half of 2 is 1 and half of 2 is 1. Concatenating these gives 11.

• 6 × 6:
  Half of 6 is 3 and half of 6 is 3. Concatenating these gives 33.

Now, apply the same logic to 8 × 6:

• Half of 8 is 4.

• Half of 6 is 3.

When you concatenate 4 and 3, you get 43.

Thus, the answer to 8 × 6 = 43.
