Key concepts
3 concepts
- 1
The Distributive Property allows us to change the order of operations in certain problems by multiplying a factor by each member of a group individually.
- 2
The Distributive Property works when group members are being added or subtracted, but it does not work if group members are being multiplied or divided.
- 3
Using the Distributive Property can make mental calculations easier, especially when you break a multi-digit factor into a group sum like expanded form.
