*   Comparison of Images   In comparison of images we compare height, thickness, numbers etc. One image can be bigger than other in size or number of image in a group may be more than that of another group. See the examples given below:      
  • Comparison means "more and less" bigger and smaller, ticker and thinner etc.
  • '<' is the sign for greater than.
  • '<' is the sign for greater than.
  • Comparison is done on the basis of shape, size, length, value, etc.    
       Which one of the following is true? (a)                                            (b) (c)                                     (d) All of these   Answer (d)        Which picture given in the options is smaller than the following picture? (a)                                              (b) (c)                                                   (d)   Answer (c)          Which one of the following is not correct? (a) 556 > 567 (b) 554 < 555 (c) 598 = 598                                       (d) 452 > 450   Answer (a) Explanations- First two digits from left are same in all the options except (a)      

*   Rules for Comparison  
  • If a number has more digits than other number then it is greater.
  • If the two numbers have the same number of digits then digits on the extreme left are compared and in this case, the number with greater digit is greater.
  • If two numbers have the same number of digits and the extreme left digits are the same then the second digits from the left side are compared and the process goes on. For example.
  While comparingandas per rule,andare compared as, therefore,   Similarly rupees>rupees. kilometers>kilometers Paise>Paise seconds>seconds   Ifandare compared then as per the rule,ofandofare compared as extreme left digits of the both numbers are. In this case Thus     Similarly for time, hours>hours seconds>seconds minutes>minutes     For money, rupees>rupees. Paise>Paise       For distance, Kilometers >kilometers Meters >meters       Which one of the following is correct? (a)                                      (b) (c)                       (d)   Answer (a) Explanations Extreme left digit ofiswhich is greater than, extreme left digit of.       is greater than : (a)                                (b) (c)                                (d)   Answer (a)  

*   Introduction     You have learnt comparison of numbers and images in the previous class. For comparing distance, time and money the same method of comparison is applied. Numbers can be compared as smaller, greater or equal. For example: is the sign of greater than and read asis greater than] Then for distance alsokilometer > kilometer Similarly for time, hour>hour And for money,rupees >rupees     Note: '>' is the sign for greater than. '<' is the sign for less than. '=' is the sign for equal to.  

*  Word Problems   In this section we will learn about some real life problems based on division.     How many bundles ofpencils can you make out ofpencils? Explanation- Total number of pencil divided by one bundle of pencil bundles.       If a mini-bus can carrychildren then how many mini buses would be needed to carry children? Explanation- Total number of children is divided by capacity of one mini- bus (28 children )mini bus.        
  • Division means equal distribution. 
  • The simple of division is horizontal line and two dots.
  • The number which gets divided is called the DIVIDEND, debited by capital 'D".
  • The number which divides the dividend is called the DIVISOR, denoted by 'd'.
  • The number which tells us how many times the division has been carried out is called the QUOTIENT, denoted b 'Q'.
  • The number which is left after the division is called the REMAINDER, denoted by 'R'.
  • The division should be continued till the remainder is either '0' or less than the divisor (D).
  • Number divided by itself gives the quotient  
  • Number divided by, is the number itself .
  • 0 divided by any number is  
  • A number cannot be divided by.  
     
  • Division describes two distinct but related settings.
  • Division is often shown in algebra and science by placing the dividend over the divisor with a horizontal line, also called a vinculum or fraction bar, between them.

*   Short Division   In this method, we breaks down a division problem into a series of easy steps.     Divideby.   Solution: Step 1: To dividebyby short division method we writeas Step 2: Then recitetable till you come to i.e.. Therefore,Or,. The answer is.       Divideby. Step 1: To dividebyby short division method we writeas Step 2: Then recite 8 table till you come toi.e.Therefore, Or.The answer is.       *  Division by 10 If the divisor isthen the digit at the one's place is the remainder (R) and the number  ormed by the remaining digits of the dividend will be the quotient (Q.). For example. Quotientand Remainder Quotientand Remainder       * Division by 100 If the divisor is 100 then the number formed by the last two digits of the dividend will be the remainder (R) and the number formed by the remaining digits of the dividend will be the quotient (Q). For example. Quotientand Remainder Quotientand Remainder  

*  Facts about Division     
  • Division means equal distribution. In other words, division is a process of sharing or dividing into groups.
  • Division is repeated subtraction.
  • Division is inverse of multiplication.
  • The symbol of division is horizontal line and two dots.
  • A number divided by 1 gives the number itself as the quotient.
  • A number divided by itself gives 1 as the quotient.
  • Zero divided by any number gives 0 as the quotient.  
    * Division by Grouping Equally       Divide 24 scissors into 3 groups by dividing equally.     * Division by repeated subtraction To dividecakes equally amongchildren by repeated subtraction method, follow these steps:   Step 1: Givecakes to first child,are left.   Step 2: Givecakes to second child. are left.   Step 3: Givecakes to third child.is left.       * Division as Reverse Multiplication Multiplication means putting together in equal groups. Division means dividing into groups. So, division is the reverse process of multiplication. Means 3 groups containing 5 things each. Meansthings divided equally intogroups.  

*    Introduction     Division is the grouping of many articles in required number of parts. In the division, table of 2 to 20 is helpful to divide any number. In this chapter, we will learn about the division of a group of articles in required number of groups.  

*  Word Problems   In this section, we will learn about some real life problems based on multiplication. For example A table has [4] legs. How many legs do [3] tables have? To solve the problem multiply\[[4]\times [3]\]to get [12] as answer.     A week has [7] days. How many days will be there in [2] weeks? Solution: Required number of days \[=[7]\times [2]=[14]\] days.     A factory produces [15] items in a day. How many items it will produce in a week if Sunday is a holiday? Solution: Items produced in a day = [15] Items produced in [6] days \[=[15]\times [6]=[90]\] items.     James scored [15] marks in an exam whereas Smith scored thrice of James. How much marks did Smith score? Solution: Marks scored by Smith \[=[3]\times [15]=[45]\]marks.     The cost of potato is [10] rupees per kg. What is the cost of [3] Kg of potatoes? Solution: Required cost = Quantity of potato\[\times \]Cost of potato \[=[3]\times [10]=[30]\]rupees.     The cost of [1] pen is [5] rupees. What is the cost of [5] such pens? Solution: Required cost = Number of pens \[\times \] Cost of [1] pen \[=[5]\times [5]=[25]\] rupees.

*    Multiplication Series   Multiplication series is a table of numbers. To solve the problems based on multiplication series we require to remember tables of numbers given below.                                Multiplication Table       Fill in the blank with suitable number. Solution: This can be found with the help of table of. Hence, in the blank space, 20 is suitable number.       Which number should be multiplied withto get the result? Solution: is at the sixth place in the table of. Therefore,should be multiplied withto get.       Find the next number in the series. Solution: In the given series each number is multiplied by. So to find the next number multiply the previous number bythat is.       Solution: In the given series to find the next number multiply the previous two consecutive numbers.and.          
  • Multiplication is a way of faster addition.  
  • is the sign of multiplication.
  • Result of multiplication is called multiplication fact.
  •  
  • When two numbers are multiple in any order, the product remains same.  
     
  • The easiest number to multiply by is 10. Just add 0 to a number when you multiply the number by 10.
  • If you multiply a single digit with 9 than the sum of digits of resulting number is always 9.

*    Multiplication of Three Numbers     It involves 3 numbers. In this type of multiplication 1st multiply any two numbers and then multiply the result with the remaining number. For example, to multiply 5, 2 and 4: first multiplyand thus and then       Solution:
