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.

102 x 16 = (102 x 10) + (102 x 6)
16 x 102 = (16 x 100) + (16 x 2) = 1600 + 32 = 1632
16 x 102 = (16 x 100) + (16 x 2) 16 x 100 = 1600 16 x 2 = 32 16 x 102 = 1632
The distributive property is an attribute of two binary operations, not of individual numbers.
GCF(16, 12) = 4. The distributive property is an attribute of two mathematical operations - not of numbers.
