The distributive property is an attribute of two binary operations, not of individual numbers.
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.
341 x 32 = (341 x 30) + (341 x 2)
8*3.5 = 8*(3 + 0.5) which, applying the distributive property, = 8*3 + 8*0.5 = 24 + 4 = 28
Addition, by itself, does not have a distributive property. Multiplication has a distributive property over addition, according to which: a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
