Solution

Simplifying the given expression:
The given expression is $5 \times 53 \times 20$
Using commutative property,
It can be written as $5 \times 20 \times 53$
According to the question,
$= (5 \times 20) \times 53$ $[B y u \sin g a s s o c i a t i v e p r o p e r t y a \times b \times c = (a \times b) \times c]$
$= 100 \times 53$
$= 5300$
Hence, $5300$ is the required answer.
