Division:
Equal - sharing:
Ex : 1 have 12 apples with me and I want to distribute them equally among 3 boys. How many apples will each boy get?
Step - 1: Give 1 apple to each boy.
we have, 12-3 =9 apples left.
Step - 2: Again give 1 apple to each boy.
we have, 9-3=6 apples left.
Step - 3: Give 1 more apple to each boy
We have, 6-3=3 apples left.
Step - 4: Again give 1 more apple to each boy.
We have, 3-3=0. Each boy has got 4 apples and no apple is left.
We observed that 12 apples have been distributed among 3 boys. Each boy got 4 apples.
Thus 12- 3=4
Grouping:
Ex: 9 balls are to be distributed among some boys. Each boy should get 3 balls. How many boys are there?
Step -1: Give 3 balls to one boy
We have, 9 - 3=6 balls left.
Step - 2: Give 3 balls to the next boy.
We have, 6 - 3=3 balls left
Step - 3: Give 3 balls to the next boy.
We have, 3 - 3 =0
No balls left. We observed that, Three boys got the balls.
Thus, 9 – 3 = 3
Multiplication and Division facts:
Basic terms used in division:
Ex: Divide 93 by 4 using long division.
Step - 1: Arrange the numbers in the following manner.
4) 93 (
Step - 2: We divide from left. We see 4 x 2 = 8 less than 9 and 4 x 3 = 12 greater than 9.
\[\therefore \]We take 2 as the quotient.
Step - 3: We see 4 \[\times \] 3 = 12 less thanl3, 4 \[\times \] 4 = 16 greater than 13.
\[\therefore \]we take 3 as the quotient
So, I is the remainder.
Thus, 93 - 4 = 23, remainder 1.
Verification:
Dividend = Divisor\[\times \]Quotient + Remainder
93= 4\[\times \]23+1
= 92+1
= 93
\[\therefore \]The answer is verified.
