Using the distribution property of multiplication which states that a(b + c) = a x b + a x c. Hence, 4 x 5384 = 4(5000 + 384) = 4 x 5000 + 4 x 384 = 20,000 + 4 x 384. Therefore, finding the value of 4 x 384 will help you to find the value of 4 x 5384 because, adding the value of 4 x 384 to 20,000 gives you the value of 4 x 5384.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!
