It is denoted by ÷  or sometimes the slash ( /) symbol also mean divide:

The following examples uses both so as for us to get familiar with them.

Opposite of Multiplying

Division is the opposite of multiplying. If you know a multiplication fact, division is easy to find then.
Example: 3 × 6 = 18, so 18 / 3 = 6.
Also 18 / 6 = 3.
Why? Let’s try to solve the numbers in rows and columns like in this illustration:

So there are four related facts:

• 3 × 6 = 18
• 6 × 3 = 18
• 18 / 3 = 6
• 18 / 6 = 3

Names
In a division, each of the numbers have special names:
Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient

Example: in 18 ÷ 3 = 6:

• 18 is the dividend
• 3 is the divisor
• 6 is the quotient

But Sometimes It Does Not Work Perfectly!

Sometimes we cannot divide things up accurately... there may be something left over.

Example: There are 5 mangoes to share with 2 boys.

But 5 cannot be divided into 2 groups just like that, so each of the boys gets 2 mangoes, but there will be 1 leftover:
We call that the Remainder.
