Division Using Repeated Subtraction

The video tutorial explains how to divide marbles among players using repeated subtraction. Jim has 32 marbles and initially divides them among four players, demonstrating division without a remainder. The process involves subtracting the divisor repeatedly from the dividend until zero is reached, with the number of subtractions representing the quotient. The tutorial then explores dividing the same marbles among five players, resulting in a remainder. This illustrates how division can leave a remainder when the dividend is not perfectly divisible by the divisor. The lesson concludes with a recap of the division process using repeated subtraction.

What is the main idea behind using repeated subtraction for division?

• To add numbers quickly

• To multiply numbers efficiently

• To divide numbers without any remainder

• To subtract numbers until zero is reached

How many marbles does each player get when 32 marbles are divided among 4 players?

• 7 marbles

• 9 marbles

• 8 marbles

What is the quotient when 32 marbles are divided among 4 players?

• 8

• 6

• 9

• 7

When dividing 32 marbles among 5 players, how many marbles does each player receive?

• 5 marbles

• 6 marbles

• 8 marbles

• 7 marbles

What is the remainder when 32 marbles are divided among 5 players?

• 3

• 4

• 2

• 1

Why can't the remaining marbles be distributed when dividing 32 marbles among 5 players?

• Because the game rules don't allow it

• Because the players don't want more marbles

• Because it would be unfair

• Because there are not enough marbles
