Subtracting a certain number of objects again and again is division.
Let us first take away 2 chocolates from 10. 8 chocolates will remain.
Now when we take away 2 chocolates from 8. 6 chocolates will remain.
When we take away 2 chocolates from 6. 4 chocolates will remain.
From remaining 4 when we take away 2 chocolates, 2 chocolates will remain.
When we remove a group of 2 for the fifth time, zero chocolates remain.
We get 5 such groups of 2 chocolates each.
So we can say that 10÷2= 5
Tables say us the result by how many times a number is.
If we say 2 × 5 = 10. It means that to get a 10 as a product say the table of 2 up to 10, we get 5.
So that 10 ÷ 2= 5.
The number to be divided is the dividend. The number by which we divide is the divisor.
If 8 ÷ 2 = 4. Here dividend is 8, divisor 2, quotient 4 and remainder 0.
To divide 21 by 3, say the 3 times table up to 21.
Three sevens are twenty-one, hence 7 is the quotient.
Subtract the product of 3 and 7 from the given 21.The remainder is zero.
Hence, 21 ÷ 3 = 7.
To divide apples among children we have to divide 17 by 4.
17 ÷ 4 = How many?
Say the 4 times table up to 17. Four fours are 16, 4 fives are 20. 20 is bigger
than 17.
Hence, we will stop at 4 fours. Write 4 above the line in the quotient. 4 × 4 =
16.
From the dividend 17, subtract the product 16.The remainder is 1.
To find the days for complete the book we have to divide 64 by 2.
64 ÷ 2 = How many?
To divide, first look at the digit on the left in the dividend. Say the 2 times
table up to 6.
Two threes are six. The product of 3 and 2 is 6. Subtract this product from 6 T.
Zero tens remain.
Write the 3 above the line in the tens place in the dividend.
Write the 4 units in front of the 0. Divide 4 units by 2. Say the 2 times table
up to 4.
The quotient is 2. The product of 2 and 2 is 4. Subtract this product from 4 U.
Zero tens remain.
Remainder 0.
The quotient is 32.
Thus, 64 ÷ 2 = 32.
To divide, first look at the hundreds place in the dividend. Say the 4 times table
up to 5.
The product of 4 and 1 is 4. Subtract this product from 5 H. 1H remains. The quotient
is 1.
Write the 1 tens in front of the 1. Divide 11 tens by 4. 11T-8T. The quotient is
2. Remainder is 3.
Write the 6 units in front of the 3. Divide 36 units by 4. Say the 4 times table
up to 36.
The quotient is 9. Subtract this product from 36 U. Remainder 0.
The quotient is 129.
Hence, 516 ÷ 4 = 129
There are 228 shirts in each shelf.
To find the number of shirts in each shelf divide 3876 by 17.
To divide, first look at the thousands place in the dividend. Which is 3.
3 is smaller than divisor 17. 3 cannot be divided by 17. Take 38 to divide with
17.
Divide 38 by 17. Subtract 34 from 38. The quotient is 2. Remainder is 4.
Write the 7 tens in front of the 4. Divide 47 by 17. Subtract 34 from 47.
The quotient is 2. Remainder is 13.
Write the 6 units in front of the 13. Divide 136 units by 17.
Say the 17 times table up to 136.
The quotient is 8. Subtract this product from 136 U. Remainder 0.
The quotient is 228.
Hence, 3876 ÷ 17 = 228
Set of division related fact is fact family.
- If we say, 35 ÷ 7. We will get 5.
- As well as 35 ÷ 5. We will get 7.
- So that, 5,7 and 35 makes fact family.
Let us say 78 ÷ 1. We will get 78.
