40 + 32 = (5 x 8) + (4 x 8) = 9 x 8 = 72
Some people use the distributive property to add 24 and 36, but you wouldn't use it to find the GCF which, by the way, is 12.
(6 x 7) + (6 x 16) = 6 x 23 = 138
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
(2 x 9) + (3 x 9) = 5 x 9 = 45 The GCF is 9.
The GCF is 18. The Distributive property states that 36 x (50 + 4) = (36 x 50) + (36 x 4)
First, I would find that the GCF of 20 and 16 is 4. Then, I would divide both 20 and 16 by 4. Last, I would use the distributive property to write the sum as 4(5 + 4).
The distributive property is not related to finding equivalent fractions. The distributive property is a rule that states a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac. It is used to simplify expressions and perform operations like multiplication or addition. To find an equivalent fraction, you would need to multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number.
17*9 = 17*(10-1) = 17*10 - 17*1 = 170 - 17People who do not know the 17 times table might find the equivalent version easier to evaluate.
An unnecessary one. 42 + 96 = 138
None whatsoever. You might find the distributive property useful when trying to calculate 39*74. Of course, if you are familiar with the 39 times table or the 74 times table, the distributive property is a complete waste of time! But somehow I doubt that level of arithmetic competence.
To find the product of 7 and 63 using the distributive property, you can break down 63 into more manageable parts. For example, you can express 63 as 60 + 3. Then, apply the distributive property: (7 \times 63 = 7 \times (60 + 3) = 7 \times 60 + 7 \times 3). This simplifies to (420 + 21), which equals 441.

(9 x 1) + (9 x 4) = 9 x 5 = 45
The GCF is 6.
