Division As Opposite of Multiplication
Example :
There are 12 balls and 3 boxes. Arrange 12 balls equally in the 3 boxes.

We know that 3 × 4 = 12. So, if 12 balls are divided into three boxes, then each box will contain 4 balls. 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
Division Using Grid Method:
Example :
Divide 96 by 4.
Answer:
Write 96 on the grid and 4 outside the box.

Example :
Divide 39 by 3.
Answer:
Fun facts:
- If a number is divided by itself then the quotient is 1.
- If a number is divided by 1 then the quotient is the number itself.
