⭐ Key Facts

1 Division is the process of splitting a number into equal groups — the inverse (opposite) of multiplication.

2 The number being divided is the dividend, the number you divide by is the divisor, and the answer is the quotient.

3 If a number cannot be split into perfectly equal groups, what is left over is called the remainder.

Learn what division means, its key vocabulary, and how to solve division problems.

Division is one of the four main operations in mathematics. It means splitting a number into equal groups or finding how many times one number fits into another. Division is the inverse of multiplication — knowing 4 × 6 = 24 means you automatically know 24 ÷ 6 = 4 and 24 ÷ 4 = 6. The number being divided is called the dividend, the number you divide by is the divisor, and the result is the quotient. When a number can’t be divided into perfectly equal groups, there’s a remainder — for example, 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2. There are several strategies for dividing: using times table knowledge, grouping objects, using number lines, or short division (the ‘bus stop’ method) for larger numbers. Division appears constantly in real life — sharing food equally, splitting costs, or working out how many weeks are in a number of days.
