Distributive Property

Numbers and Decimals Distributive Property

🎬 Video Tutorial

(0:01) The Distributive Property: States that multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying it by each part separately, then adding the results. This also works for subtraction.
(0:52) Expanding and Factorising: The distributive property helps in both expanding expressions, e.g., 15 × (100 + 2) = (15 × 100) + (15 × 2), and factorising, e.g., 50 × 24 − 50 × 14 = 50 × (24 − 14).
(2:23) Distributive Property and Division: The distributive property generally doesn’t apply to division and often does not simplify the calculation.
