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.

Is multiplication a distributive over division?

Multiplication is not distributive over division in the same way it is over addition. The distributive property states that (a(b + c) = ab + ac), but when applying it to division, the relationship does not hold, as (a(b / c) \neq ab / ac). In fact, division is not distributive over multiplication either. Thus, while multiplication interacts with division in various ways, it does not exhibit a distributive property with respect to it.

How would you describe the relationship between the distributive property and division?

The distributive property allows us to break down multiplication over addition or subtraction, which can help simplify complex expressions. While division is not directly expressed through the distributive property, it can be related; for instance, when dividing a sum by a number, we can use the property to divide each term separately. This highlights the interrelationship between these operations, as both are fundamental to simplifying and solving mathematical expressions.
