Answer:

113 x 16 = 1808

Explanations:

The Egyptian algorithm uses the distributive law to perform multiplication operation

This algorithm allows us to break a single number into bits and spreading out the product on it.

Note:

16 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 10

113 x 16 = 113 x ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 10)

113 x 16 = (113 x 1) + (113 x 2) + (113 x 3) + (113 x 10)

113 x 16 = 113 + 226 + 339 + 1130

113 x 16 = 1808
