Question

999x99

Answer 1

To find the product of 999 and 99, we can apply the distributive property as follows:

999 * 99 = (900 + 90 + 9) * 99

Using the distributive property, we can distribute the 99 to each term:

= 900 * 99 + 90 * 99 + 9 * 99

Now, we can simplify each term:

900 * 99 = 89100 (multiplying 900 by 99)
90 * 99 = 8910 (multiplying 90 by 99)
9 * 99 = 891 (multiplying 9 by 99)

Finally, we can add the simplified terms together:

89100 + 8910 + 891 = 99000 + 891 = 99900 + 891 = 100791

Therefore, the product of 999 and 99 is 100791.
