(iii) MULTIPLICATIVE PROPERTY OF ZERO For every whole number a, we have  SOLVED EXAMPLES
       (a × 0) = (0 × a) = 0.
        EXAMPLE 1. Multiply 197 by 54.
 EXAMPLE:     (i) 9 × 0 = 0 × 9 = 0     (ii) 37 × 0 = 0 × 37 = 0    SOLUTION.  We have:
          (iii) 2386 × 0 = 0 × 2386 = 0           197 × 54 = 197 × (50 + 4)
                              = 197 × 50 + 197 × 4 (by distributi ve law )
 (iv) MULTIPLICATIVE PROPERTY OF 1 For any whole number a we have: (a × 1) = (1 × a) = a.           = 9850 + 788 = 10638.
                              = (1000 × 2995) = 2995000.

 EXAMPLE:     (i) 8 × 1 = 1 × 8 = 8     (ii) 76 × 1 = 1 × 76 = 76
          (iii) 2345 × 1 = 1 × 2345 = 2345  EXAMPLE:  Find the product 37256 ×25 × 40.
        SOLUTION: We have
 (v) ASSOCIATIVE LAW if a, b, care any whole numbers, then (ax b) x c =ax (bx c).                  37256 × 25 × 40 = 37256 × (25 × 40)
                              = 37256 × 1000 = 37256000.
 EXAMPLE:  Take the whole numbers 9, 7 and 10.
          (9 × 7) × 10 = 63× 10 = 630.   EXAMPLE 10. Find each of the following products:
           9 × (7 ×10) = 9 × 70 = 630.            (i) 30674 × 9  (ii) 4578 × 99    (iii) 23756 × 999
          (9 × 7) × 10 = 9 × (7 × 10).  SOLUTION   We have:
                        (i) 30674 × 9 = 30674 × (10 - 1)

 (vi) DISTRIBUTIVE LAW OF MULTIPLICATION OVER ADDITION For any whole numbers a. b, c we           = (30674 ×10) - (30674 × 1)
          have: a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c).           = (306740 - 30674) = 276066.
                       (ii) 4578 × 99 = 4578 × (100 -1)
 EXAMPLE:  Consider the whole numbers 16, 9 and 8.           = (4578 × 100) - (4578 × 1)
           16 × (9 + 8) = (16 ×17) = 272.            = (457800 - 4578) = 453222
          (16 × 9) + (16 × 8) = (144 + 128) = 272.         (iii) 23756 × 999 = 23756 × (1000 - 1)
           16 × (9 + 8) = (16 × 9) + (16 × 8).           = (23756 × 1000) - (23756 × 1)
 (vii) DISTRIBUTIVE LAW OF MULTIPLICATION OVER SUBTRACTION For any whole numbers a, b, c           = (23756000 -23756) = 23732244.
          we have: a × (b - c) =(a × b)- (a × c).
                                            DIVISION IN WHOLE NUMBERS

 EXAMPLE:     Consider the whole numbers 11, 6 and 4.
            11 × (6 - 4) = (11 × 2) = 22.   Division is the inverse operation of multiplication.
          (11 × 6) - (11 × 4) = (66 - 44) = 22.   Let a and b be two whole numbers. Dividing a by b means finding a whole number c such that b × c = a and we
           11 × (6 - 4) = (11 × 6) - (11 × 4).  write, a + b = c.
        Thus, a + b = c => b = c => a = b × c.

        EXAMPLE:   Dividing 48 by 8 is the same as finding a whole number which when multiplied by 8 gives 48.
                              Clearly, such a number is 6, as 8 x 6 = 48.
                              Similarly, we have:
                              63 + 9 = 7, 84 + 14 = 6, etc.
