STUDY MATERIAL

What is Division?

English

Division means sharing equally or making equal groups.

The symbol of division is ÷.

The answer of a division is called the Quotient.

हिन्दी

Division (भाग) का अर्थ है बराबर बाँटना या समान समूह बनाना

भाग का चिन्ह ÷ है।

भाग का उत्तर भागफल (Quotient) कहलाता है।

Division by Equal Sharing

Example 1

There are 6 apples.

Share them equally among 2 children.

🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎

Child 1 → 🍎🍎🍎

Child 2 → 🍎🍎🍎

6 ÷ 2 = 3

Each child gets 3 apples.

हिन्दी

6 सेबों को 2 बच्चों में बराबर बाँटें।

प्रत्येक बच्चे को 3 सेब मिलेंगे।

Division by Equal Grouping

Example

There are 8 flowers.

Make groups of 2 flowers.

🌸🌸 | 🌸🌸 | 🌸🌸 | 🌸🌸

There are 4 groups.

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Division as Repeated Subtraction

Example

12 ÷ 3

12 − 3 = 9

9 − 3 = 6

6 − 3 = 3

3 − 3 = 0

We subtracted 3 four times.

So,

12 ÷ 3 = 4

(Introduce this only as a simple idea, not as a formal method.)

Division and Multiplication

Division and multiplication are related.
