Dividing is separating a number into several equal groups.
When we divide 6 by 3 we are separating 6 into 3 equal groups of 2.
There are two common ways to write the sign for division.
The number 6 divided by 3 could be written as 6/3 or 6 ÷ 3.
Dividing by 0
Numbers cannot be divided by 0 because it is impossible to make 0 groups of a number.
Dividing by 1
Any number divided by 1 equals that number. If you divide by 1 you have one group and
so everything is in that group.
Dividing by 2 and 3
The Division facts for two and three are listed in the following table.
TWO
0 ÷ 2 = 0
2 ÷ 2 = 1
4 ÷ 2 = 2
6 ÷ 2 = 3
8 ÷ 2 = 4
10 ÷ 2 = 5
12 ÷ 2 = 6
14 ÷ 2 = 7
16 ÷ 2 = 8
18 ÷ 2 = 9
THREE
0 ÷ 3 = 0
3 ÷ 3 = 1
6 ÷ 3 = 2
9 ÷ 3 = 3
12 ÷ 3 = 4
15 ÷ 3 = 5
18 ÷ 3 = 6
21 ÷ 3 = 7
24 ÷ 3 = 8
27 ÷ 3 = 9
