Well, honey, the distributive property states that when you multiply a number by a sum, you can multiply each addend by that number separately and then add the products. So, in this case, you would multiply 12 by 56 and get 672. But hey, who's counting?
The distributive requires three numbers (or elements) and two different mathematical operations. Two numbers are not enough to illustrate it.
56 64 are two positive integers. They do not illustrate the distributive property.

8*37 = 8*(30+7) = 8*30 + 8*7 [that is using the distributive property] = 240 + 56 = 296
