Question

Distributive property

5(871)

Answer 1

`5(871)=5*871`


`\text{Set up the long multiplication.}`


`\text{Calculate 5 x 1, which is 5.}`


`\text{Calculate 5 x 7, which is 35.}`


`\text{Since 35 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 3 to the next column.}`


`\text{Bring down the carry digit of 3.}`


`\text{Calculate 5 x 8, which is 40.}`


`\text{Since 40 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 4 to the next column.}`


`\text{Bring down the carry digit of 4.}`


`\text{Calculate 5 + 350 + 4000, which is 4355}`


`\text{Therefore, 5 x 871 = 4355.}`

5(871)=5 x 13 x 67=4355
