Question

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

Answer 1

$8\times 53\times (-125)$
$=8\times [53\times (-125\left)\right]=8\times \left[\right(-125)\times 53]...usingtheproperty(b\times a=a\times b)=[8\times (-125\left)\right]\times 53...usingthepropertya\times (b\times c)=(a\times b)\times c=[-1,000]\times 53=-53,000$
