Division Arrays

A way to show division using rows and columns, helping to visualize how many groups can be made.

It means that if you divide 24 into 6 equal groups, each group has 4.

21 ÷ 3 = 7, meaning there are 7 groups of 3 in 21.

It shows that when you divide 15 into 3 equal groups, each group has 5.

16 ÷ 4 = 4, meaning there are 4 groups of 4 in 16.

It tells us that if you divide 12 into 4 equal groups, each group has 3.

Multiplication is the opposite of division; if 3 x 4 = 12, then 12 ÷ 4 = 3.

You can check by multiplying the quotient by the divisor to see if you get the dividend.

The number you want to divide, for example, in 24 ÷ 6, 24 is the dividend.

The number you divide by, for example, in 24 ÷ 6, 6 is the divisor.
