Technically it only works with multiplication. You can also use it with division, if the division appears on the RIGHT side, for example: (3 + 2) / 5 = 3 / 5 + 2 / 5. This can be justified by the fact that dividing by 5 is the same as multiplying by 1/5. To check other cases, convert the division to a multiplication, and see whether the distributive property applies to the corresponding multiplication.

For example, (10 + 2) / 2 = (10 / 2) + (2 / 2). This works if the added terms are on the left side of the division side (or the numerator of a fraction). Consider the distribution of multiplication over addition to be the fundamental rule; if you convert the division above to a multiplication, and later you convert the multiplication back to a division, it should be clear why the distributive property works in this case: (10 + 2) / 2 = (10 + 2) x (1/2) = (10 x 1/2) + (2 x 1/2) = (10 / 2) + (2 / 2) Please note that it does NOT work the other way round, that is, if the added terms are on the right of the division sign (denominator of a fraction).
Division
the inverse of addition is subtraction and the inverse of multiplication is division. Of course, multiplication is just repeated addition so division is just repeated subtraction!

multiplication: the opposite (division) property is factoring
Associative works for addition and multiplication. Commutative works for addition and multiplication Distributive works for addition, multiplication and subtraction as well as some combinations of them, but not for division. Nothing works for division.
2k + 10 is an expression. The distributive property is a property of one binary operation (typically multiplication, or right-division) over another (addition or subtraction) for elements of a set (numbers); not a property of expressions.
Yes. The distributive property is multiplication. You have 2(4 + 5), you are basically multiplying (2 * 4) + (2 * 5), which is the third step down in the order of operations. PEMDAS Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication / Division (from left - right) Addition / Subtraction (from left - right)
To be picky, the distributive property is about multiplication, but division is defined in terms of multiplication, so your question can be answered!Say you have (6xy+15y)/(3y). The distributive property will say this is equal to 6xy/3y + 15y/3y = 2x + 5.Notice that the "/3y" has been distributed onto each term inside the parentheses.
Addition and multiplication
The distributive property works is defined for multiplication and addition: a (b + c) = ab + ac also: (a + b)c = ac + bc For a division, it works if you can convert it into a multiplication, in a form similar to the above. For example: (10 + 2) / 2 can be converted into a multiplication; in this case, dividing by 2 is equivalent to multiplying by 1/2: (10 + 2) (1/2) = (10 x 1/2) + (2 x 1/2) If the sum is in the divisor, for example: 15 / (1 + 2) then there is no way you can convert it into an equivalent multiplication, which conforms to the forms used for the distributive property.
The distributive property is a property that relates to two binary operations and operates over a set.According to the distributive property of multiplication over division, if a, b and c are three elements of a set S, thena*(b + c) = a*b+a*cMultiplication is also distributive over subtraction.
Division is distributive over addition only in terms of addition with the numerator, but not the denominator. That is, (a + b)/x = a/x + b/x but y/(c + d) ≠y/c + y/d
