"The division is a method of distributing a group of things into equal parts. It is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, which gives a fair result of sharing".
"The Division is an operation inverse of Multiplication".
Let suppose, if 5 groups of 6 make 30 in multiplication; 30 divided into 5 equal groups give 6 in groups in division.
"The main goal of the division is to see how many equal groups or how many in each group when sharing fairly".
For Example:-
There are 30 marbles and 5 boxes, how to put 30 marbles into Five(5) equal-sized boxes.
So, 30 divided by 5 =?
Therefore, 6 marbles should be kept in each Box.
Mathematical Notation For Division:-
There are various signs which can be used to indicate division such as

"Signs of Division". |
For Example:-
- 8/2 = 4.
- 16➗2 = 8.
Special Names For Each Character In Division:-
Each part involved in a division equation has a special name.
Dividend:- The dividend is the number that is being divided into the division process.
Divisor:- The number by which dividends are being divided by is called Divisor.
Quotient:- A quotient is a result obtained in the division process.
Introduction To The Remainder:-
The remainder is the portion of the dividend is left over after division.
For Example:-
83 by 2, there is a leftover of 1.
It means 83 divided by 2 gives us Quotient = 41 and r = 1.
Here, 'r' is Remainder.
Special Facts About Division:-
- When dividing something by 1 the answer will always be the original. It means if the divisor is 1, the quotient will always be equal to the dividend such as 10 divided by 1 is equal to 10.
- Division by 0 is Undefined.
- The division of the same dividend and divisor is always 1. For Example 4➗4 = 1.
What Is Long Division:-
In Math, long division is a method used for dividing large numbers into groups of parts. Long division helps in breaking the division problem into a sequence of easier steps. Just like all division problems, a large number which is the dividend, is divided by another number is called the divisor, to give a result called the quotient and sometimes a remainder.
How do you do long division?
The long division method involves basic math operations.
To divide two numbers using this method, a tableau is drawn. The divisor is written outside the right parenthesis, while the dividend is placed within. The quotient is written above the overbar on top of the dividend.
For Example:- 65➗5
Lond division involves 5 steps.
