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 becomes

16*(100 + 2)

and THEN the distributive property can be used to express that as

16*100 + 16*2

You could, equally go for

(10 + 6)*102 = 10*102 + 6*102

Or split either number into any other convenient form of addition.
