Oh, dude, the distributive property is just a fancy way of saying you gotta distribute that number outside the parentheses to everything inside. So, for 16(24), you just multiply 16 by 24 and get 384. Easy peasy, like spreading butter on toast.

The distributive property is an attribute of two binary operations, not of individual numbers.
As it stands, 16*102 has no distributive property. The distributive property is a property that multiplication has over addition. It is, therefore, necessary for the question to have a multiplicative components and an additive component.So, if you chose to write 102 as (100 + 2) then the question becomes16*(100 + 2)and THEN the distributive property can be used to express that as16*100 + 16*2You could, equally go for(10 + 6)*102 = 10*102 + 6*102Or split either number into any other convenient form of addition.
GCF(16, 12) = 4. The distributive property is an attribute of two mathematical operations - not of numbers.
16 x 102 = (16 x 100) + (16 x 2) = 1600 + 32 = 1632
8*3.5 = 8*(3 + 0.5) which, applying the distributive property, = 8*3 + 8*0.5 = 24 + 4 = 28
