mathantics・2 minutes read
Understanding basic division concepts, such as finding the answer on a multiplication table and dealing with remainders, is crucial for learning long division. Special symbols are introduced for complex problems, with an emphasis on correctly determining how many times the divisor fits into the dividend to avoid errors in the solution.
Insights
- Basic division involves finding how many times a number (divisor) fits into another number (dividend), with the answer sometimes resulting in remainders when the numbers are not directly divisible.
- Understanding the relationship between the divisor and dividend is essential in division, with a focus on creating equal groups and identifying remainders to accurately represent the division process.

Mastering Basic Division with Remainders and Quotients
- Division basics are crucial for understanding long division, which will be covered in the next video lesson.
- In basic division, like 9 divided by 3, the answer can be found on the multiplication table, resulting in 3.
- Problems like 9 divided by 4, where the numbers aren't part of a fact family, lead to remainders, like 2 with a remainder of 1.
- A special division symbol is introduced for more complex problems, with areas for the dividend, divisor, and quotient.
- The key question in division is "How many of the divisor will make up the dividend?" to avoid too big or too small answers.
- Choosing the right answer, like 2 for 9 divided by 4, leads to a remainder of 1, showing equal groups with a leftover amount.
- Applying the procedure to 23 divided by 5 results in 4 with a remainder of 3, showcasing the process with different numbers.
- Utilizing a multiplication table can aid in determining the answer, as seen in 57 divided by 6, where 9 with a remainder of 3 is the solution.
