Question

Find the following products, using distributive laws:

2437 × 999

Answer 1

Distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a (b + c) = ab + ac
Distributive property of multiplication over subtraction states that a (b − c) = ab - ac
2437 × 999
= 2437 × (1000 − 1)
= 2437 × 1000 − 2437 × 1
= 2437000 − 2437
= 2434563
