Simplify 786 × 237 + 786 × 763 = ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 786000
Both products have the common factor 786, so take it out (\(ab+ac=a(b+c)\)). The two other numbers add up to a round 1000.
\(786\times237+786\times763=786\times(237+763)\)
\(=786\times1000=\) 786000
