Question

778×994=(778×1000)-(778×_)-778 The dash is fill in the blanks
​

Answer 1

We must be aware of distributive property before we solve the problem :

• a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
• a × (b - c) = a × b - a × c
• a × (b + c + d) = a × b + a × c + a × d

We use this property to solve the given problem :

∴ 778 × 994 = 778 × (1000 - 6)

= 778 × 1000 - 778 × 6

= 778 × 1000 - 778 × (5 + 1)

= 778 × 1000 - 778 × 5 - 778 × 1

= 778 × 1000 - 778 × 5 - 778

So, 5 fills the mentioned blank.
