What is the Distributive Property in mathematics?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum by distributing the multiplication over each addend.

How do you use the Distributive Property to divide?

Back

To use the Distributive Property for division, you can break the dividend into parts that are easier to divide. For example, for 864 ÷ 4, you can break 864 into 800 and 64, then divide each part by 4.
