To distribute; to "spread" evenly.

The distributive property is a property that relates to two binary operations and operates over a set.According to the distributive property of multiplication over division, if a, b and c are three elements of a set S, thena*(b + c) = a*b+a*cMultiplication is also distributive over subtraction.
