Understanding Repeated Subtraction

The video tutorial explains how repeated subtraction is equivalent to division. It demonstrates this by solving the problem 24 divided by 8 using repeated subtraction. Starting with 24, the number 8 is subtracted repeatedly until the result is zero. Each subtraction represents a division step, and the number of subtractions needed to reach zero is the quotient. The video concludes by summarizing that repeated subtraction can be used to solve division problems.
