The video tutorial explores division strategies, focusing on dividing 300 by 12 using the distributive law, also known as chunking. The process involves partitioning 300 into multiples of 12, simplifying the division into smaller, manageable parts. By distributing the divisor across these parts, the calculation becomes more straightforward, ultimately showing that 300 divided by 12 equals 25.
