Division is splitting a number into equal groups.
You'll use division a lot in your life.
That's why it's helpful to memorize division facts.
Division is the opposite of multiplication.
It's easy to do division if you already know your multiplication facts.
In the last lesson, you mastered dividing by 1 to 5.
Now let's learn 6 to 9.
Here are the division facts for 6.
To help you see what it's like to divide by 6, take a look at these circles.
Let's divide these 12 circles by 6.
12 ÷ 6 = ?
This is how our drawing will look like.
How many circles are in each group?
Yes! 2 circles. ✅
So let's complete our equation.
12 ÷ 6 = 2
Let's check our answer using multiplication.
2 × 6 = 12 👍
Great job!
Let's try dividing a bigger number by 6.
24 ÷ 6 = ?
Instead of drawing a diagram this time, just think:
What number times 6 equals 24?
? × 6 = 24
You got it! The answer is 4. ✅
How about 66 ÷ 6 = ?
It's 11.
And 72 ÷ 6 = 12.
Remember: division is the opposite of multiplication, so use your knowledge of multiplication to help you figure it out.
Let's try dividing 28 by 7.
28 ÷ 7 = ?
We know the total, 28, but we're missing one of the parts.
We can think, "What number times 7 equals 28?"
7 × ? = 28
Correct! It's 4. ✅
So you figured out the answer to the division equation above using multiplication.
28 ÷ 7 = 4
Remember, division is the opposite of multiplication.
So if you know multiplication, you already know division. 👍
It will also help you to memorize these division facts for 7.
77 ÷ 7 = 11.
84 ÷ 7 = 12.
Great job reviewing how to divide by 7.
Let's see how well you know the division facts for 8.
What's 32 ÷ 8 ?
Great! It's 4. ✅
What's 56 ÷ 8 ?
Very good! It's 7. ✅
What's 72 ÷ 8 ?
You got it! It's 9. ✅
Take a look at the other division facts for 8 in this table.
What's 88 ÷ 8?
Yes, It's 11.
What's 96 ÷ 8?
It's 12!
Memorize these so you can divide quickly.
Let's try dividing by 9:
63 ÷ 9 = ?
Remember, you can use multiplication to solve division equations.
Let's try that here.
9 × ? = 63
What number times 9 equals 63?
That's right! It's 7. ✅ So:
63 ÷ 9 = 7
Fantastic. 🎉
Here's the table of division facts for 9.
What's 108 ÷ 9?
It's 12.
Memorizing these facts will help you divide numbers with even more digits later.
Now, let's practice.
