Question

Distributive property 5(871)

Answer 1

$5(871)=5*871$ 

$\text{Set up the long multiplication.}$ 

$\text{Calculate 5 x 1, which is 5.}$ 

$\text{Calculate 5 x 7, which is 35.}$ 

$\text{Since 35 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 3 to the next column.}$ 

$\text{Bring down the carry digit of 3.}$ 

$\text{Calculate 5 x 8, which is 40.}$ 

$\text{Since 40 is two-digit, we carry the first digit 4 to the next column.}$ 

$\text{Bring down the carry digit of 4.}$ 

$\text{Calculate 5 + 350 + 4000, which is 4355}$ 

$\text{Therefore, 5 x 871 = 4355.}$

Answer 2

5(871)=5 x 13 x 67=4355
