Question

Does distributive property hold under division explain with example

Answer 1

To “distribute” means to divide something or give a share or part of something.
According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.
Here’s an example of how the result does not change when solved normally and when solved using the distributive property.

( 5 + 7 + 3 ) x 4

= 15 x 4

= 60

( 5 + 7 + 3 ) x 4

= 5 x 4 + 7 x 4 + 3 x 4

= 60


The distributive property helps in making difficult problems simpler. You can use the distributive property of multiplication to rewrite expression by distributing or breaking down a factor as a sum or difference of two numbers.
