Using Mental Math To Divide

Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts. It tells us how many times one number is contained within another.

The symbol '➗' represents division.

The result of a division is called the quotient.

You can simplify 1,000 ➗ 50 by breaking it down: 1,000 is 10 times 100, and 50 is 10 times 5, so it becomes 20.
