In algebra fundamental arithmetic procedure (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) in general used in day-to-day life. The multiplication defined as product of numbers. Multiplication is usually expressed in a*b or ab form. The multiplying numbers are having two terms i) Multiplicand and ii) Multiplier. In this article, we are going to discuss about the multiplication rules
The Multiplication Rules – Rules and Example Problems:
The multiplication rules - Rules:
Rule 1: The multiplication of two integers by the connected signs resolve be positive sign
a) Positive `xx` positive = positive
b) Negative `xx` negative = positive
Rule 2: The multiplication of two integers by the different signs will be negative
a) Positive `xx` negative = negative
b) Negative `xx` positive = negative.
The multiplication rules – Example problems:
Example 1:
Evaluate 6802 `xx` 322
Solution:
6802 `xx` 322
------------------
13604
13604
20406
--------------
2190244
--------------
Therefore, the final answer is 2190244.
Example 2:
Find the solution for given problem
(- 9667) `xx` (- 26)
Solution:
(- 9667) `xx` (- 26)
---------------------------
58002

-------------------
251342
-----------------
Therefore, the final answer is 251342.
Example 3:
Find the solution for given problem
8655 `xx` (- 124)
Solution:
8654 `xx` (- 124)
-----------------
34616
17308
8654
----------------
- 1073096
-----------------
So, the final answer is (- 1073096)
The Multiplication Rules – Practice Problems:
