What is the distributive property of 16 x 102?

As it stands, 16*102 has no distributive property. The distributive property is a property that multiplication has over addition. It is, therefore, necessary for the question to have a multiplicative components and an additive component.So, if you chose to write 102 as (100 + 2) then the question becomes16*(100 + 2)and THEN the distributive property can be used to express that as16*100 + 16*2You could, equally go for(10 + 6)*102 = 10*102 + 6*102Or split either number into any other convenient form of addition.


What is the meaning of distributed property?

The DISTRIBUTIVE (not distributed) property is a property of multiplication over addition (OR subtraction). In its simplest form, if x, y and z are three numbers then, according to the distributive property of multiplication over addition, x*(y + z) = x*y + x*z


Multiplication two complex numbers in c?

(a +bi)(c + di) : Use the distributive property and remember i*i = -1. In polar form:|ab| = |ab| and thetaab = thetaa + thetab.


Why doesn't the distributive property always work for division?

The distributive property works is defined for multiplication and addition: a (b + c) = ab + ac also: (a + b)c = ac + bc For a division, it works if you can convert it into a multiplication, in a form similar to the above. For example: (10 + 2) / 2 can be converted into a multiplication; in this case, dividing by 2 is equivalent to multiplying by 1/2: (10 + 2) (1/2) = (10 x 1/2) + (2 x 1/2) If the sum is in the divisor, for example: 15 / (1 + 2) then there is no way you can convert it into an equivalent multiplication, which conforms to the forms used for the distributive property.


How do you multiply 7 x 256 using expanded form and the distributive property?

Sure thing, honey. To multiply 7 by 256 using expanded form and the distributive property, you break down 256 into 200 + 50 + 6. Then you distribute the 7 to each part: 7 x 200 + 7 x 50 + 7 x 6. So, the result is 1400 + 350 + 42, which equals 1792. You're welcome, darling.
