            �    The answer we get after the division is called the quotient.


               For example,                 21          ÷          7          =      3

        Properties of Division


            �    When a number is divided by 1, we get                                     5 ÷ 1 = 5
               the number itself as the answer.

            �    When a number is divided by itself, we                                    6 ÷ 6 = 1
               always get 1 as the answer.


            �    When  we  divide  0  by  any  number,  we                                 0 ÷ 3 = 0
               always get 0 as the answer.



         Divide the following.


               (a)  14 ÷ 1 =                   (b)  6 ÷ 6 =                    (c)  13 ÷ 13 =


               (d)  0 ÷ 17 =                   (e)  0 ÷ 8 =                    (f)  20 ÷ 1 =



         Fill in the missing numbers.


               (a)  19 ÷           = 1         (b)  23 ÷ 23 =                  (c)           ÷ 1 = 23



               (d)          ÷ 15 = 1           (e)           ÷ 14 = 0          (f)  5 ÷           = 5



        Division as Opposite of Multiplication


        Every multiplication fact (except when the number is multiplied by itself)
        gives us two division facts.

                                                                          Fact-o-meter
                                         24 ÷ 4 = 6                    When we multiply a number by


             4 × 6 = 24                                                itself, for example, 4 × 4 = 16,

                                         24 ÷ 6 = 4                    we get the same division facts
                                                                       16 ÷ 4 = 4.
