I assume you mean, that 100% of a product decays. In radioactive decay, in purely mathematical terms, this will never happen; but for practical purposes, after several half-lives elapse, the amount of remaining substance (of the original substance) is so small as to be insignificant for most practical purposes. Also, since a material is made up of individual atoms, the time will come when (once again, in a purely mathematical way) much less than one atom is left; what this means in practice is that the probability of even one atom being left becomes insignificant.

What does gallium-67 decay to?

Gallium-67 decays 100% of the time via electron capture, a process where a proton "captures" an electron forming a neutron and a neutrino, so therefore the decay product will have the same same atomic mass number, but an atomic number lowered by one. So for gallium-67, that yields zinc-67.

What is the difference of the product of 100 and 100 and the sum of 100 and 100?

Finding the sum is adding two numbers together. The product comes from multiplying them together. Therefore, the sum of 100 and 100 is 200. The product of 100 and 100 is 10,000. Thus, the difference (which comes from subtracting two numbers) between the two is 9,800.
