Question

Find $624\times 25$ using distributive property of multiplication.

Answer 1

Step I - As we know the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

$a\times (b+c)=a\times b+a\times c$

So, we can split $25$ into $(20+5)$.

$624\times 25$ = $(20+5)$ $\times 624$

= $624\times 20+624\times 5$

= $12480+3120$ = $15600$

Hence, value of $624\times 25$ using distributive property of multiplication = $15600$.
