The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. In this case, applying the distributive property to 20 + 32, we get 1(20) + 1(32) = 20 + 32. The greatest common factor (GCF) for 20 and 32 is 4, as 4 is the largest number that divides both 20 and 32 evenly without leaving a remainder.
