Hello?

wach · Answer

Ok, so basically we're multiplying the smaller bits, like we'll multiply 'so' by the other number itself, and '7' by itself. So :
104x57
|dw:1365348325331:dw|

wach · Answer

Now, we add the smaller sums, 728 + 5200, and get 5928, which is the total sum. That's how you find the answer with distributive property.

anonymous · Answer

Its just the same as multiplying regularly, right?

raden · Answer

ur original question, 104 x 57 or 
114 x 57 ?

anonymous · Answer

104 x 57

raden · Answer

thus, we cant use distibutif property for this case

anonymous · Answer

how?

raden · Answer

distributive property says :
ab + ac = a(b+c)

wach · Answer

Yes, it is the same as multiplying normally. The distributive property is just another way of saying that, I believe.

anonymous · Answer

No wonder

anonymous · Answer

thanks for your explanation and help

raden · Answer

104x57 = 8 * 13 * 3 * 19
looks no common division there

wach · Answer

For example: 
3 x 59
(3 x 50) + (3 x 9)
150 + 27
177
