Division
The division is a method of distributing a group of things into equal parts. It is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, which gives a fair result of sharing.
The division is an operation inverse of multiplication. If 3 groups of 4 make 12 in multiplication; 12 divided into 3 equal groups give 4 in each group in division.
The main goal of the division is to see how many equal groups or how many in each group when sharing fairly.
For example:
There are 16 balls and 4 boxes, how to put 16 balls into four equal sized boxes?
So, 16 divided by 4 =?
Therefore, 4 balls should be kept in each box.
