The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. In this case, 98 x 7 can be calculated using the distributive property as 98 x 7 = 98 x (5 + 2) = (98 x 5) + (98 x 2) = 490 + 196 = 686. So, the distributive property helps break down the multiplication into simpler calculations.
