Division concept:

The division is one of the four basic arithmetic operations. It involves splitting a number (called the dividend) into equal parts, each containing a specified quantity (divisor). The result is called the quotient. In simple terms, division answers the question, "How many times can one number fit into another?"

For example, if you have 12 candies and want to split them equally among 3 friends, each friend would get 4 candies because 12÷3=4.

Example 1:

Divide 16 by 4.

Solution:

1. Set up the division: 16÷4.
2. Determine how many times 4 fits into 16.
3. Using multiplication to check, 4×4=16, so 16÷4=4.

Final Solution: $16÷4=4.$

Example 2:

Divide 25 by 5.

Solution:

1. Set up the division: 25÷5.
2. Determine how many times 5 fits into 25.
3. Using multiplication to check, 5×5=25, so 25÷5=5.

Final Solution: 25÷5=5.

Example 3:

Divide 18 by 6.

Solution:

1. Set up the division: 18÷6.
2. Determine how many times 6 fits into 18.
3. Using multiplication to check, 6×3=18, so 18÷6=3.

Final Solution: 18÷6=3.
