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.
12*56 Use the distributive property on 12: (10+2)*56 = 10*56 + 2*56 Use the distributive property on 56 twice: 10*(50+6) + 2*(50+6) = 10*50 + 10*6 + 2*50 + 2*6 = 500 + 60 + 100 + 12 = 672
