    The paper presents a series of new beautiful integral formulae for a distribution of arbitrary codimension and its orthogonal complement given on a closed Riemannian manifold, which are generalizations of formulas by \textit{F. Brito}, \textit{R. Langevin} and \textit{H. Rosenberg} [J. Differ. Geom. 16, 19-50 (1981; Zbl 0472.53049)], \textit{P. Walczak} [Colloq. Math. 58, No. 2, 243--252 (1990; Zbl 0766.53024)] and \textit{F. B. Brito} and \textit{A. M. Naveira} [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 18, No. 3--4, 371--383 (2000; Zbl 0974.53018)]. These formulas involve the co-nullity tensor of a distribution and deal with a set of arbitrary functions depending on the scalar invariants of the co-nullity tensor. Namely, the main results of the paper are Theorems 3.1, 3.3 in Section 3 which give new integral formulas for distributions/foliations and Newton transformations on a Riemannian manifold. Besides, the paper also presents some examples and applications to codimension-one distributions and foliations in Sections 4, 5.
