This document provides guidance on solving missing number problems using division for KS2 Maths SATs exams. It explains that students may be asked to find a missing number in an equation by dividing the number on the right side of the equation by the number on the left side. Several examples are worked through, such as 12 x 121 = 1452 and 4 x 60 = 240, demonstrating that the missing number is found by dividing the right side number by the left side number. Students are then given practice problems to solve for the missing numbers.

2. In a SAT paper you might be asked to find a missing number
in a sum by using division.

3. In a SAT paper you might be asked to find a missing number
in a sum by using division.
For example: write the missing number to make this
calculation correct.
12 x
= 1452

4. In a SAT paper you might be asked to find a missing number
in a sum by using division.
For example: write the missing number to make this
calculation correct.
12 x
= 1452
To find the answer, you need to divide the number on the right
hand side of the equation

5. In a SAT paper you might be asked to find a missing number
in a sum by using division.
For example: write the missing number to make this
calculation correct.
12 x
= 1452
To find the answer, you need to divide the number on the right
hand side of the equation (1452)

6. In a SAT paper you might be asked to find a missing number
in a sum by using division.
For example: write the missing number to make this
calculation correct.
12 x
= 1452
To find the answer, you need to divide the number on the right
hand side of the equation (1452) by the number on the left
hand side

7. In a SAT paper you might be asked to find a missing number
in a sum by using division.
For example: write the missing number to make this
calculation correct.
12 x
= 1452
To find the answer, you need to divide the number on the right
hand side of the equation (1452) by the number on the left
hand side (12).

8. In a SAT paper you might be asked to find a missing number
in a sum by using division.
For example: write the missing number to make this
calculation correct.
12 x
= 1452
To find the answer, you need to divide the number on the right
hand side of the equation (1452) by the number on the left
hand side (12).
1452 divided by 12 = 121

9. In a SAT paper you might be asked to find a missing number
in a sum by using division.
For example: write the missing number to make this
calculation correct.
12 x
= 1452
To find the answer, you need to divide the number on the right
hand side of the equation (1452) by the number on the left
hand side (12).
1452 divided by 12 = 121
Therefore:
12 x 121 = 1452

10. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 200
(2007 Paper A)
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (200) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
200 divided by 4 = 50
Therefore:
4x
50
= 200

11. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 240
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (200) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
200 divided by 4 = 50
Therefore:
4x
50
= 200

12. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 240
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (200) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
200 divided by 4 = 50
Therefore:
4x
50
= 200

13. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 240
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (240) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
200 divided by 4 = 50
Therefore:
4x
50
= 200

14. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 240
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (240) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
200 divided by 4 = 50
Therefore:
4x
50
= 200

15. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 240
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (240) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
200 divided by 4 = 50
Therefore:
4x
50
= 200

16. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 240
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (240) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
240 divided by 4 = 50
Therefore:
4x
50
= 200

17. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 240
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (240) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
240 divided by 4 = 60
Therefore:
4x
50
= 200

18. A similar example is: write in the missing number.
4x
= 240
Again, to find the answer, you need to divide the number on
the right hand side of the equation (240) by the number on
the left hand side (4).
240 divided by 4 = 60
Therefore:
4x
60
= 240
