Use the distributive property to find the product of 16 times 34

Distributive property is a way of solving a certain problem, may it be division, multiplication, addition of subtraction. You distribute each given digits of a number to get the answer.

Given numbers : 16 times 34

Solution:

=> 16 x 34

=> let’s start with ones value

=> 6 x 4 = 24, bring down 4 carry 2

=> 4 x 1 = 4 + 2 = 6 (the partial answer is 64)

then the tens value

=> 3 x 6 = 18, bring down 8 carry 1

=> 3 x 1 = 3 + 1 = 4 (we have another partial answer as 480)

let’s add

=> 64 + 480 = 544
