The property that multiplication is distributive over addition means that
a*(b+c) = (a*b) + (a*c)
The usufulness of this property can be illustrated by the following example:
8*(102) = 8*(100+2) = (8*100) + (8*2) = 800 + 16 = 816.
So if you split 102 into 100 and 2, and then use the distributive property, you do not need to work with a large number such as 102.

Can the distributive property be used over multiplication?
The distributive property connects two different operations - for example, addition and multiplication. In this case:a(b+c) = ab + ac Here is an example with numbers: 7(10+2) = 7x10 + 7x2 If you were thinking about other combinations of operations, I suggest you try out a few examples, whether both sides are equal or not.
How you do Multiplication property?
The multiplication properties are: Commutative property. Associative property. Distributive property. Identity property. And the Zero property of Multiplication.
What is the distributive property of 4 times 444?
The distributive property involves two differentoperations - usually addition and multiplication in the same calculation.
Can multiplication be distributive over subtraction?
Multiplication can be the first step when using the distributive property with subtraction. The distributive law of multiplication over subtraction is that the difference of the subtraction problem and then multiply, or multiply each individual products and then find the difference.
How do you turn a distrubitive property number to an algabraic expression?
This question is so poorly phrased as to be unanswerable! There is no such thing as a distrubitive property. There is a distributive property but that is a property that applies to two binary operations (for example, the distributive property of multiplication over addition), but NOT to numbers. Also, there is no such word as algabraic. In any case, since there is no such thing as a distrubitive property number or even a distributive property number, it is not possible to convert that non-existent thing into an algebraic expression.
