Question 4(b)

Find using distributive property:

$5437\times 1001$

Answer 1

$5437\times 1001$

1001 can be represented as (1000 +1), as calculations with 1000 (or any power of 10) makes it easier and faster.

Now using the distributive property:

a×(b+c)=(a×b)+(a×c), we get,

$5437\times 1001=5437\times (1000+1)$
= $(5437\times 1000)+(5437\times 1)$
= $5437000+5437$
= $5442437$
