GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. After completing “TIME AND CALENDAR” Chapter notes and problems, continue
writing these notes given below in a new page.
2. Leave one line after the completion of each problem.
3. Draw lines with the help of small scale after completing each problem.
4. Write neatly and legibly in your C.W. Note.

The division is a method of distributing a group of things into equal parts. It is one of the four
basic operations of arithmetic, which gives a fair result of sharing.
The division is an operation inverse of multiplication.
For example:
There are 16 balls and 4 boxes, how to put 16 balls into four equal sized boxes?

So, 16 divided by 4 =?
Therefore, 4 balls should be kept in each box.
So, in the above process where we divided 16 balls into 4 equal groups;
The dividend is 16, the divisor is 4 and thus the quotient is 4.
Division fact for the above problem is:

16 ÷ 4 = 4

Dividend Divisor Quotient

Mathematical notation for division:

There are various signs which can be used to indicate division such as ÷, /.
For example:
• 8÷2
• 8/2

Terms used in Division:

Each part involved in a division process has a special name.


Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Dividend : The dividend is the number that is being divided in the division process.

Divisor : The number by which the dividend is being divided is called divisor.

Quotient : The number which we get after division is called quotient.

Remainder : The number which is left over after division is called remainder.
Properties of division

• When dividing any number by 1, the answer will always be the same number. It means
if the divisor is 1, the quotient will always be equal to the dividend such as
10 ÷ 1= 10.
• Division of any number by 0 is undefined.
• When zero is divided by any number the answer is always zero.
• When any number is divided by itself the answer is always 1. For example: 4 ÷ 4 = 1.

1. Division is repeated subtraction:


For Example:
16 ÷ 4 =?
This can be repeatedly subtracted as,
Step 1 16 – 4 = 12
Step 2. 12 – 4 = 8
Step 3 8–4=4
Step 4 4–4=0
We subtracted 4 from 16, 4 times until we get 0. So, the answer is 4.
2. Division without remainder or 0 as remainder:
8
2) 16
-16
0

Introduction to the remainder

The remainder is the portion of the dividend that is left over after division. For example, on
dividing 9 by 2, there is a leftover of 1.
It means, 9 ÷ 2 = 4 and R =1,
Here, ‘R’ is remainder.
Note: The remainder is always smaller than the divisor.
3. Division with non-zero remainder:
4
2) 9
-8
1 Remainder

4. Division of 3- digit numbers

Example 1 Example 2 Example 3


131 088 109
2) 262 3) 264 5) 545
-2 -0 -5
06 26 04
-6 -24 -0
02 24 45
-2 -24 -45
0 0 0

5. Division by 10:
4 Quotient
10) 45
- 40
5 Remainder

Examples:
64 ÷ 10
Q = 6, R = 4
57 ÷ 10
Q = 5, R = 7
Word Problem:

Ashish baked 192 cookies and divided them equally into 12 packs. How many cookies did Ashish
put in each packet?

Solution:

Total number of cookies = 192

Total number of packs = 12

Number of cookies in each packet = 192 ÷ 12

016
12) 192
-12
072
-72
0
So, there are 16 cookies in each packet.
