 3.1 Division –repetitive subtraction
What. is Repeated Subtraction?
 Repeated subtraction is a method of subtracting the equal
number of items from a larger group. It is also known as
division.
 If the same number is repeatedly subtracted from another
larger number until the remainder is zero or a number
smaller than the number being subtracted, we can write
that in the form of division.

For example:
 If there are 25 balls and we form a group of 5 balls each.

Fun fact:
Repeated subtraction is like jumping back from the bigger
number until you get a zero or a smaller number.

 3.2 Division –Exact quotient
Learn.that Division is the Opposite of Multiplication
Do you remember that division is splitting numbers into equal
groups?

Whenever you have a multiplication equation, you

can also write a related division equation with
the same numbers.
Take a look!

 Divide
. 28 by 7 means finding a whole number
which when multiplied by 7 gives 28. Clearly,
such a number is 4.

So, we write 28 ÷ 7 = 4.

Similarly, we have

12 ÷ 4 = 3, since 4 × 3 = 12

35 ÷ 5 = 7, since 5 × 7 = 35

2 ÷ 1 = 2, since 2 × 1 = 2

15 ÷ 15 = 1, since 15 × 1 = 15

42 ÷ 6 = 7, since 6 × 7 = 42

Which natural numbers are called

the even numbers?

• Numbers that can be divided into two equal parts.

8 is an even number because we can divide it "evenly" into two 4's.

4 is half of 8.
