Lesson 3: Division

Here is a PDF version of the lesson.

Here is a PDF version of the workbook containing lots of practice.

Division is  the opposite operation to multiplication. When we are trying to distribute something evenly among a group of people or split something into smaller components – we are dividing.

To divide larger numbers, we need to understand the place value of each digit within each number. Then use the method of long division.

The result of dividing two numbers by each other is called the quotient. 

Sometimes, numbers do not divide evenly and there is a remainder.

All possible numbers that a given number is divisible by are called the factors of the given number. Some numbers are only divisible by themselves and 1, such numbers are called prime factors.
