1.2 Multiplying and dividing integers

Worked example 1.2 Key word
Work out: product
a 4 × −8 b −20 ÷ (3 − −2)

Answer
a 4 × 8 = 32, so 4 × −8 = −32.
b First, do the subtraction in the bracket.
3 − −2 = 3 + 2 = 5
So, −20 ÷ (3 − −2) = −20 ÷ 5 = −4.

Answer

The sum of the digits is 3 + 9 + 4 + 8 = 24.

24 is divisible by 3, so 3948 is also divisible by 3.
3948 is even and divisible by 3, so 3948 is also divisible by 6.
24 is not divisible by 9, so 3948 is also not divisible by 9.
