Question

How do you divide? I can't remember how.

Answer 1

3 divided by 15 is 5 like 5 times 3 is 15

Answer 2

Division of single Numbers can be represented in p /q form. For example: 3 / 5. Here we will discuss how to divide single digits.

Step 1: Suppose we have single digit 9 and we have to divide this number by 2.

Step 2: If we divide 9 by 2 then we get 4 as quotient and 1 as remainder.

Step 3: Than put the decimal Point in quotient after 4. So the quotient number becomes (4.) and put 0 in remainder after 1.

Step 4: Now we have 10 in the remainder. So if we divide 10 by 2 then we get 5 as quotient and remainder as 0. So quotient number becomes 4.5.

Now we will see how to divide single by double digit.

Step 1: First of all take any single digit. Suppose we have 7 and we have to divide 7 by 10.

Step 2: We cannot divide 7 by 10. So first put decimal point in quotient and put 0 with 7.

Step 3: Now the number becomes 70 and number 70 is easily divisible by 10. If we divide 70 by 10 we get 7 as quotient, so the quotient value becomes .7
