Mathematical Properties in Logistics Equations

A logistics coordinator is solving the equation 16y13=56\frac{1}{6}y - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6} to determine the number of shipments (yy) for a new route. To clear the fractions, the coordinator multiplies both sides of the equation by the least common denominator, 6. Identify the specific mathematical property that allows the coordinator to multiply the 6 by each individual term on the left side of the equation.
