Answer
View full question & answer→Largest five-digit number = 99999
Largest three-digit number = 999
By using distributive law, we have:
Product = 99999 × 999
= 99999 × (1000 - 1) [By using distributive law]
= 99999 × 1000 - 99999 × 1
= 99999000 - 99999
= 99899001
Alternate Answer
999 × 99999
= 999 × (100000 - 1) [By using distributive law]
= 999 × 100000 - 999 × 1
= 99900000 - 999
= 99899001
Largest three-digit number = 999
By using distributive law, we have:
Product = 99999 × 999
= 99999 × (1000 - 1) [By using distributive law]
= 99999 × 1000 - 99999 × 1
= 99999000 - 99999
= 99899001
Alternate Answer
999 × 99999
= 999 × (100000 - 1) [By using distributive law]
= 999 × 100000 - 999 × 1
= 99900000 - 999
= 99899001
