Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts or groups. It can be thought of as repeated subtraction. The key terms in division are: dividend, the number being divided; divisor, the number dividing; quotient, the answer of the division equation; and remainder, any leftover amount that does not divide evenly. Any number divided by zero is undefined. Division steps include removing common zeroes, then dividing the numbers. Examples show dividing various numbers and calculating quotients and remainders. Practice problems are provided to help learners apply division concepts and skills.

2. What is DIVISION?
- DIVISION is splitting
into equal parts.
- Also known as “REPEATED
SUBTRACTION.”

3. Dividend – the number to be divided
Divisor – the number that divides
Remainder – the excess number
Quotient – the answer in divison
equation

4. Any number divided TO
ZERO, the answer is ZERO.
Any number divided BY
ZERO, the answer is
UNDEFINED

5. FAMILY STEPS
D – addy (Divide)
M – ommy (Multiply)
S – ister (Subtract)
B – rother (Bring down)

6. Let’s answer some examples:

7. Ex. 323,400 ÷ 400 = N
- Remove the same number of
zeroes from the Divisor and
Dividend
323,400 ÷ 400 = N

8. - Divide the usual way
3,234 ÷ 4 = 808 r2
But, how about 456,000 ÷ 20?
523,370 ÷ 300?

9. Ex. 3,924 ÷ 43 = N
- Round-off the Divisor and
Dividend to the nearest place
value
3,924
43
4,000
40

10. - Divide the usual way
4,000 ÷ 40 = 100
(Therefore, 100 is the MOST REASONABLE
ANSWER)

REASONABLE ANSWER
23,948 ÷ 46 = N
593,059 ÷ 28 = N
4,389,493 ÷ 54 = N

13. Example:
The class of 4 – 12 won the
competition on Class Saint Corner. As
a prize, they received 475 chocolate
bars. If the class divided the prize
equally among them, how many bars
of chocolate will each one receive?
How many are the excess?

14. E: 475 ÷ 33 = 𝑁
S:
A: 14 chocolate bars each with
13 bars excess

15. Example:
Loca-loca, a softdrink company,
produced 45,000 mL soda in a
batch. If it is divided into 200-
mL bottles, how many bottles
can it produce?

16. E: 45,000 ÷ 200 = 𝑁
S:
A: 225 bottles

17. Try this!
The Sing-chorale won 21,984 pesos in
a singing competition. If its members:
Ashton, Eros, Angelo, JM, and Faye
would equally divide the prize money,
how much would each one receive?
How much would be the excess (if
there’s any)?

18. E: 21,984 ÷ 5 = 𝑁
S:
A: 4,396 pesos each w/ 4 pesos excess
