Distributive property is a way of solving a certain problem, may it be division, multiplication, addition of subtraction. You distribute each given digits of a number to get the answer.
Given numbers : 16 times 34
Solution:
=> 16 x 34
=> let’s start with ones value
=> 6 x 4 = 24, bring down 4 carry 2
=> 4 x 1 = 4 + 2 = 6 (the partial answer is 64)
then the tens value
=> 3 x 6 = 18 , bring down 8 carry 1
=> 3 x 1 = 3 + 1 = 4 (we have another partial answer as 480)
let’s add
=> 64 + 480 = 544
