Division Studio
Master the art of sharing. Visualize grouping, understand remainders, and memorize division facts.
Equal Sharing
Division helps share things equally.
Sharing 13 items into 4 groups gives 3 per group, with 1 left over.
Sharing Fairly
Division is one of the most useful math skills in daily life. Whether you're slicing a pizza for friends, splitting a bill, or distributing tasks, you are using division.
The Concept
Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient. Think of it as "Total Item" ÷ "Number of Baskets" = "Items in each Basket".
Leftovers
Real life isn't always perfect. If you have 10 cookies and 3 friends, everyone gets 3 cookies, and there is 1 left over. That's the Remainder.
Reverse Math
To check your division, just multiply! If 20 ÷ 4 = 5, then 5 × 4 must equal 20. If it doesn't, check your math again.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Division?
Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts. It is the opposite of multiplication.
What are the three parts of division?
- Dividend (The amount you want to divide).
- Divisor (The number you divide by).
- Quotient (The answer).
What is a Remainder?
Sometimes numbers don't divide evenly. The remainder is what is left over after you make as many full groups as possible. For example, 7 ÷ 2 = 3 with a Remainder of 1.
Why can't you divide by zero?
It's undefined. Division asks 'how many times does X fit into Y?'. Asking 'how many times does 0 fit into 5?' has no logical answer because no matter how many zeros you add, you never reach 5.
How are Division and Multiplication related?
They are inverse operations. If 3 × 4 = 12, then 12 ÷ 4 = 3 and 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
What is a 'Factor'?
A factor is a number that divides another number completely without leaving a remainder. 3 is a factor of 12.
How do I use the Division Table?
Our table lists 'facts' grouped by divisor. Look at the 'Divide by 5' card to see all multiples of 5 divided by 5.
What is Long Division?
Long division is a method used for dividing large numbers by breaking the problem into smaller, manageable steps.
Does order matter in division?
Yes! Division is not commutative. 10 ÷ 2 is 5, but 2 ÷ 10 is 0.2. This is different from multiplication where 2 × 5 is the same as 5 × 2.
What is the symbol for division?
The obelus (÷) is common in elementary math. In algebra and computers, the forward slash (/) is used.
