Dividing. Set up the equation. On a piece of paper, write the dividend (number being divided) on the right, under the division symbol, and the divisor (number doing the division) to the left on the outside. The quotient (answer) will eventually go on top, right above the dividend.

Dividend vs. The number that is being divided (in this case, 15) is called the dividend, and the number that it is being divided by (in this case, 3) is called the divisor. The result of the division is the quotient.

The terms used in division are dividend, divisor, quotient and remainder.

Division by sharing

1. Ask your child to practise division by sharing objects equally. For example, 8 ÷ 2 could be solved by sharing 8 objects into 2 equal groups.
2. Ask your child to find out how many objects there are to begin with.
3. If you do not have the same number, ask your child if the objects have been shared equally.

Give your child a fixed number of beads, and tell them to divide them equally between a certain number of tins. Start with showing the child how to divide the beads into two tins, using different numbers of beads each time, then gradually move to dividing by different numbers.

In math, long division is a method used for dividing large numbers into groups or parts. Just like all division problems, a large number, which is the dividend, is divided by another number, which is called the divisor, to give a result called the quotient and sometimes a remainder.

In simple words, division can be defined as the splitting of a large group into equal smaller groups. Division can be introduced by considering objects from our daily life like slices of pizza or a bar of chocolate. For example, if we divide a pizza into 4 slices, we do division. Thus, 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25.

Division is splitting into equal parts or groups. It is the result of “fair sharing”. Example: there are 12 chocolates, and 3 friends want to share them, how do they divide the chocolates? Answer: They should get 4 each.

The division is a method of distributing a group of things into equal parts. It is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, which gives a fair result of sharing. The division is an operation inverse of multiplication.

Dividend – A number to be divided by another number. Divisor – A number by which another number is to be divided. Quotient – The result obtained by dividing one number by another number. Quotative Division – When dividing a number into groups of a measured quantity.

Division is the opposite of multiplication in mathematics. Division allows us to divide or ‘share’ numbers to find an answer. For example, let’s consider how we would find the answer to 10 ÷ 2 (ten divided by two).

Division is something that you use daily. If you are in a Rock group of any kind or a band for instance. You might be the lead singer, the guitarist or even the drummer. Each one of you has their own place, and when you play a song, that song is divided into different parts where each one gets a piece to do.

so the answer is 5 and 11.

Division facts are division number sentences related to times tables knowledge. For example, 50 ÷ 5 = 10, 25 ÷ 5 = 5, and 10 ÷ 5 = 2 are all division facts of the five times table.
