Multiply two at a time.
I often try to factor the numbers and group the factors as I have learned a few of the first powers of several of the low primes.
I also use rough estimates to check that my answer is in the right "ballpark" often the estimates are "good enough" I also sometimes use my phone calculator...

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Which set of numbers is closed under the operation of division?

There are several; the most well-known are probably the set of rational numbers without zero, the set of real numbers without zero, and the set of complex numbers without zero.


How do you square root the area of a square?

You use the square root key on a calculator, or the sqrt() function in Excel. If you want to do it without a calculator, there are several methods; one that is fairly straightforward is trial and error: just try squaring different numbers until you get close enough. (Other methods may be faster, but are still iterative - you have to repeat the same steps several times, until you get sufficient precision.)


What is a calculator that can find the function of a table without a common ratio?

In reality, there is no such calculator - nor can there ever be one. This is because there are infinitely many possible functions that will fit any finite table of numbers.


How do I do square root?

The best ways to find a square root, without memorizing multiplication tables, are:use the button on your calculator that looks like this: √Google "square root of" and type your numberJust remember that numbers have 2 square roots, a positive and a negative (calculators like the above will only show you the positive result).


What is the math definition of the distributive property of multiplication?

An operation is commutative if you can change the orderof the numbers involved without changing the result. Addition and multiplication are both commutative. Subtraction is not commutative: 2 - 1 is not equal to 1 - 2.* * * * *Oh dear!Multiplication is commutative for ordinary numbers but not for matrices, so not a correct answer. But what has any of this to do with the question?The distributive property states thata(b+c)=ab+acyou take the numbers on the inside and multiply them by the number(s) on the outside.
