Multiplicative distribution law:
Adding (or subtracting) two numbers and then multiplying by another number is equivalent to multiplying this number by two addends (subtracting) and then adding (subtracting) the two products to get the same number.
Expressed in letters:
(a+b)x c=axc+bxc
There is also a representation:
ax(b+c)=ab+ac
example
25? 404
=25? (400+4)
=25? 400+25? four
= 10000+ 100
= 10 100
Inverse application of multiplication and distribution law
25? 37+25? three
=25? (37+3)
=25? 40
= 1000
Multiplication and distribution law can also be used to calculate decimals and fractions.
Example:
25? 404
=25? (400+4)
=25? 400+25? four
= 10000+ 100
= 10 100
Reverse use of multiplication and distribution rules;
35? 37+65? 37
=37? (35+65)
=37? 100
=3700
Reverse application of multiplication and distribution law;
35? 37+65? 37 =37? (35+65) =37? 100 =3700
