Lesson 7: Division of Whole Numbers

Division is splitting a number into equal parts. It tells you how many groups you can make or how many items are in each group.

Steps to Divide

Examples

36 ÷ 6 = 6
81 ÷ 9 = 9
64 ÷ 8 = 8

Where You Use Division

Division is used when you share equally, break things into parts, or want to know how many times one number fits into another — like dividing a bill or splitting a pizza!
