Question

Using distributive property of multiplication over the addition of whole numbers, find the following product: $736\times 103$

Answer 1

Distributive property of multiplication over the addition:

$736\times 103$$=736\times (100+3)$

By using distributive property of multiplication over the addition of whole numbers

$$\begin{gathered} =(736\times 100)+(736\times 3) \\ =73600+2208 \\ =75808 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $736\times 103=75808$

Hence, the value of $\mathbf{736}\mathbf{}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{}\mathbf{103}$ is $\mathbf{75808}$
