To be picky, the distributive property is about multiplication, but division is defined in terms of multiplication, so your question can be answered!

Say you have (6xy+15y)/(3y). The distributive property will say this is equal to 6xy/3y + 15y/3y = 2x + 5.

Notice that the "/3y" has been distributed onto each term inside the parentheses.
