The distributive property states that a number can be multiplied by a sum of numbers by distributing the multiplication across each term in the sum. For example, using the numbers 81 and 27, you can express 81 multiplied by a sum, such as 27 = 20 + 7, as follows: ( 81 \times 27 = 81 \times (20 + 7) = (81 \times 20) + (81 \times 7) ). This property allows for easier calculations by breaking down the multiplication into simpler components.
