Math How to Divide

Introduction to math how to divide:

In mathematics, especially in elementary arithmetic, division (÷) is the arithmetic operation that is the inverse of multiplication. Teaching division usually leads to the concept of fractions being introduced to students. Unlike addition, subtraction, and multiplication, the set of all integers is not closed under division. Dividing two integers may result in a remainder. In this article we shall discuss about how to do divide in math.(Source: Wikipedia)

I like to share this Matrix Division with you all through my article.

Math how to divide example problem


Division is the process of equal distribution of number or repeated subtraction of same number by several times or is called as division. Zero divide by any number is zero.

Dividend = divisor x quotients + remainder

Example:

Divide 448 by 2

200 + 20 + 4
_____________

2      400 + 40 + 8

400 + 40 + 8
_____________

Now the quotient is 200 + 20 + 4 = 224.

Example:

Divide 668 by 2

300 + 30 + 4
_____________

2     600 + 60 + 8

600 + 60 + 8
_____________

Now the quotient is 300 + 30 + 4 = 334.

Example:

A shopkeeper made 352 chocolates. The shopkeeper packed 5 chocolates into each box. Find how many  number of boxes of chocolates he packed and how many chocolates unpacked?

Solution:

Total number of chocolates made by shopkeeper = 352

Each box contains 5 chocolates

Therefore 352/5 = 70 remainder 2

He packed 70 boxes of chocolates.

2 chocolates are unpacked.

Example:

A shopkeeper made 324 cakes. A shopkeeper packs 5 cakes into each box. Find how many boxes of cakes there and how many cakes are left over; Shopkeeper sold each box for `$` 2, Find how much money he receive?

Solution:

Number of box of cakes = Total cakes / Number cake in one box

324 / 5 = 64 remainder 4

There are 64 boxes of cakes. 4 cakes are remainder.

The number of box = 64

So multiply number of box x sold cost of each box

Receive money = 64 x 2 = `$` 128
