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.
