There is no distributive property for division over addition in the same way there is for multiplication. The expression $ \frac{a + b}{c} $ cannot be simplified to $ \frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} $ using a distributive property, as division does not distribute over addition in the same manner multiplication does.
