Division Facts

For every group of three numbers, there will be two multippcation facts and two spanision facts.

Memorizing such math facts and multippcation tables helps in solving spanision and multippcation problems.

5 &times 8 = 40

8 &times 5 = 40

40 ÷ 8 = 5

40 ÷ 5 = 8

In this lesson we use spanision facts and multippcation tables to solve spanision problems

Divide 42 ÷ 6

Solution

Step 1:

To find the answer to this problem we need to know the multippcation and spanision facts for 42, 6 and 7 and multippcation table of 6.

Step 2:

The multippcation facts for 6, 7 and 42 are;

6 × 7 = 42

7 × 6 = 42

The spanision facts for 6, 7 and 42 are;

42 ÷ 6 = 7

42 ÷ 7 = 6

Step 3:

From above spanision facts it is clear that

42 ÷ 6 = 7

One more way of explaining given problem is that if there are 6 groups each having equal number of items and the total number of items is 42, then number of items in each group is given by;

42 ÷ 6 = 7

Find the spanision facts for 8, 10 and 80.

Solution

Step 1:

Divide

80 ÷ 8

80 ÷ 8 = 10

Step 2:

Divide

80 ÷ 10

80 ÷ 10 = 8

Step 3:

So the spanision facts for 8, 10 and 80 are ;

80 ÷ 8 = 10

80 ÷ 10 = 8

Find the spanision facts for 9, 12 and 108

Solution

Step 1:

Divide

108 ÷ 9

108 ÷ 9 = 12

Step 2:

Divide

108 ÷ 12

108 ÷ 12 = 9

Step 3:

So the spanision facts for 9, 12 and 108 are;

108 ÷ 9 = 12

108 ÷ 12 = 9
