Division

Intermediate

Division means sharing a group of things equally, or splitting it into equal-sized groups. When you divide, you use the รท sign.

๐Ÿ“ Example:12 รท 3 = 4 (Twelve apples shared equally into 3 baskets means 4 apples in each basket!)

Division and multiplication are opposites, like two sides of the same coin! If 4 ร— 3 = 12, then 12 รท 3 = 4 and 12 รท 4 = 3. Knowing your multiplication facts helps you divide quickly.

โšก Fun Fact:Sometimes a number can't be shared perfectly equally โ€” whatever is left over is called the remainder. 13 รท 4 = 3 remainder 1, because 4 baskets get 3 apples each, with 1 apple left over.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip:To divide, ask yourself: 'How many equal groups can I make?' or 'How many go in each group?' Both questions describe division!
