You can solve distributive property problems, by doing this:

Let's say your problem is 27+12. You start by doing this:

What factor goes into 27? Wait... what Greatest Common Factor belongs to 27?

It's 9. So, what you do is this:

3(9+?)

3*? equals 12? 3*4= 12. So it's 4.

So, 3(9+4) 9+4= 13

3*13= 39

27

+12

equals 39

Distributive property in math?

The distributive property states that when you have a problem, say 3(42-36) then you distribute the multiply by 3 to the 42 and -36 to get 126-108 which can be easier to solve some times. Also when you simplify problems with variables, you can substitute 5n+15 to 5(n+3).-------a(b+c) = ab+ac
