Question

Find the product using a suitable property:

$854\times 102$
[2 marks]

Answer 1

$854\times 102$

102 can be splitted as (100 + 2)

= $854\times (100+2)$
[0.5 marks]

Now, we can use the distributive property,

a×(b+c) = (a×b) + (a×c)

We get,
= $(854\times 100)+(854\times 2)$

= $85400+1708$

= $87108$
