When the sum of two numbers is multiplied by a number, you can multiply this number separately and then add it. This is the so-called law of multiplication and division.
Letter representation of the laws of multiplication and distribution;
(a+b)c=ac+bc .
There is another form of expression:
a(b+c)=ab+ac .
On the law of multiplication;
1, multiplication commutation law
When two numbers are multiplied, the position of the exchange factor remains unchanged. a×b=b×a .
2. Multiplicative associative law
To multiply three numbers, you can multiply the first two numbers or the last two numbers first, and the product remains the same. (a×b)×c=a×(b×c).
3. Distribution law
The main formula is (a+b) × c = a× c+b× c. When the sum of two numbers is multiplied by a number, you can multiply it first and then add it, and the product remains unchanged. This is the so-called law of multiplication and division.
