Subtraction is finding the difference between two numbers whereas division is putting numbers into equal pairs or undoing multiplication ( if that helps ) So... If they say divide 6 by 2 they mean put six into equal pairs of 2 which would equal 3 E.g.:- ( there are 3 pairs of six cars in twos ) You can't use subtraction because that will just find the number difference of 6 and 2 which is 4 Hope that wasn't complicated

Simplify the ratio 24:120

Vaselesa [24]

24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
120: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120

The GCF of 24 and 120 is 24.

$24:120 / 24:24 = \\ 1:5$
