Division is a mathematical operation that involves dividing or distributing a quantity into equal parts. It is represented by the symbol “÷” or by a horizontal line.
The goal of division is to find out how many times one number (divisor) fits into another number (dividend).
For example, 10 ÷ 2 represents the division of 10 by 2, which gives us a result of 5.
Division is essential for distributing objects or quantities equitably, calculating the quotient of two values, and solving mathematical problems that involve distributing resources or measuring rates and relationships.
