    Answer:
    8

  2. Swap the Factors: the Commutative Property

    Which expression shows the commutative property of multiplication?
    • 71 + 4 = 4 + 71
    • 71 x 4 = 284
    • (71 x 4) x 6 = 71 x (4 x 6)
    • 71 x 4 = 4 x 71
    Show answer
    Answer:
    71 x 4 = 4 x 71

  3. Use the ×0 and ×1 Rules

    Multiply: 8,047  ×  \; \times \;0

A worked example

Calculate 4  ×  \; \times \;2.
  1. We need to find 4  ×  \; \times \;2.
  2. Think of it as adding 2 to itself 4 times: 2  +  \; + \;2  +  \; + \;2  +  \; + \;2  =  \; = \;8.
  3. So 4  ×  \; \times \;2  =  \; = \;8. The correct answer is 8.
  4. 4 is wrong — that is 4 x 1, not 4 x 2.\\6 is wrong — that is 3 x 2, not 4 x 2.\\9 is wrong — off by 1.
