Question

Find the product of the given expression using suitable properties:
738 × 103

Answer 1

We can use the distributive property to simplify the expression
[ a × ( b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)]

Now, applying it for the given expression:
738 × 103
= 738 × (100 + 3)
= (738 × 100) + (738 × 3) (using distributive property)
= 73800 + 2214
= 76014

This is the required answer.
