Whole Number Division Review

Front

What is whole number division?

Back

Whole number division is the process of dividing one whole number by another whole number, resulting in a quotient and possibly a remainder.

How do you estimate the result of a division problem?

Back

To estimate the result of a division problem, round the dividend and divisor to the nearest ten or hundred, then divide the rounded numbers.

Front

What does 'remainder' mean in division?

Back

A remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend is not evenly divisible by the divisor.

How do you round up when calculating the number of groups needed?

Back

When calculating the number of groups needed, if there is a remainder, round up to the next whole number to ensure all items are accounted for.

Front

What is the formula for division?

Back

The formula for division is: Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient (with a possible Remainder).

Front

How can you check your division answer?

Back

You can check your division answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder (if any) to see if it equals the dividend.

Front

What is the significance of the divisor in a division problem?

Back

The divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided; it determines how many equal parts the dividend is split into.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations; knowing one can help you find the other. For example, if 6 x 4 = 24, then 24 ÷ 6 = 4.

Front

How do you handle division with larger numbers?

Back

For larger numbers, break the problem into smaller, more manageable parts, or use long division to find the quotient and remainder.

What is the importance of understanding division in real-life applications?

Back

Understanding division is crucial for solving real-life problems involving equal distribution, such as sharing resources or calculating rates.
