Question

Find the product, using suitable properties:
$8\times 53\times (-125)$

Answer 1

Given $8\times 53\times (-125)=8\times [53\times (-125\left)\right]$
$=8\times \left[\right(-125)\times 53$]
[ Using the property of $b\times a=a\times b$ ]
$=[8\times (-125\left)\right]\times 53$
[Using the property of $a\times (b\times c)=(a\times b)\times c$]
$=[-1000]\times 53=-53000$
