[OS X TeX] Staggering

[Alain Schremmer]

Is there a more elegant way, both in source and in output, to typeset

    \begin{center}

    $\underbrace{17\times2}$\hspace{32mm}

    $\underbrace{34 \times 2}$ \hspace{26mm}

    $\underbrace{68 \times 2}$\hspace{20mm}

    $\underbrace{136 \times 2}$\hspace{14mm}

    $\underbrace{272 \times 2}$\hspace{8mm}

    $\underbrace{544 \times 2}$\hspace{2mm}

    $1088$
    \end{center}

Hopeful regards
