Question

104 ×96 evaluate without multiplying directly ..

Answer 1

104 x 96

={100+4}{100-4}

{100}^2 -{4}^2

=10000 - 16

=9984

Answer 2

106 × 296
firstly check which identity is suitable Here
of course ,
$(a + b)(a - b) = a {}^{2} - {b}^{2}$
100 as a
4 as b
(a+b) (a-b)=asq - bsq
(100+4)(100-4)
(100)^2-(4)^2
10000-16
=9984
