Given 3 values A, B and C. A is distributed over B and C according to the expression
A(B+C) = AB+AC (Distributive law)
Given the expression 24 + 56, we can apply distributive property by looking for the greatest common factor of 24 and 56 and then factor it out .
The GCF of 24 and 56 is 8
24+56 = 8(3+7)
The mistake Simone does is that he wrongly divide 8 by 24 . 8 goes in 24 3 times not 4 times. Hence the values in parenthesis is supposed to be (3+7) instead of (4+7)
