its the same thing as additive property.. but your not adding, your dividing....:)
There are different properties for each of the four basic operations. If you have to identify one, you just have to name it.
It is one of the meanings of property: characteristic. For example, "it is the property of rural areas that houses are further apart". Nothing really to do with mathematics, there.
It means nothing, really. The distributive property is a property of multiplication over addition or subtraction. It has little, if anything, to do with integers.
When the terms in a polynomial are commutative, they can be grouped with parentheses in any way.
