Multiplication Arrays Using the Distributive Property Distributive Property of Multiplication An array is one way to show the product of two numbers. An array is used to break apart greater factors to make numbers easier to multiply. 4 x 5 4 x (3 + 2) = 4 x 5 = 20 4 x (3 + 2) = (4 x 3) + (4 x 2) = 12 + 8 = 20 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 12 x 18 96 12 x 18 96 120 12 x 18 96 + 120 216 1 Multiply (8 x 12) 2 Multiply (10 x 12) 3 Add 96 and 120 to find the final product Remember the expanded form of 18 is (10 + 8). Each addend is multiplied by 12. 12 x 8 10 10 180 216 96 2 x 8 = 16 10 x 8 = 80 10 x 10 = 100 2 x 10 = 20 120 36 8 2 © Copyright NewPath Learning.
