What does the distributive property combine to make multiplying whole numbers simpler

The distributive property in a given field combines multiplication with addition, that is in a field <span>F<span>, any elements <span><span><span>a<span>,b</span></span> and </span><span>c which satisfy the following rule:</span></span></span></span>

<span>a(b+c<span>)=</span><span>ab</span>+<span>ac</span></span>

<span><span> </span> </span>

<span>The whole numbers are a subset of the field </span><span>R, which is composed of all rational and irrational numbers, hence the whole numbers satisfy this property. Therefore, if I wish to multiply 5 and 10, I can split this down to simplify the problem (or simply highlight the logical reasoning behind how long multiplication works.) To demonstrate:</span>

<span>5∗10=5∗(2+8<span>)=</span>5∗2+5∗8=10+40=50</span>

<span> </span>

Kobe has collected 750 football cards and 660 baseball cards. He wants to divide them into piles so that each pile has only one
Harrizon [31]

Answer: 30 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest possible number of cards in each pile such that there is the same number of cards in each​ pile we need to find the greatest common factor of 750 and 660.

Using Euclid division method , we have

750=1(660)+90\\\\660=7(90)+30\\\\90=3(30)+0

Hence, the greatest common factor of 750 and 660 = 30

Thus, there will be 30 cards in each pile.

Noah said, “When you divide a number by a second number, the result will always be smaller than the first number.”
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

When dividing two fractions by each other, the result will be larger. Dividing two whole numbers, however, will always result in a smaller number because you're taking away a part of the number.
