| Division by using fractions | Division by 5 |
|---|---|
| 132/2 = (100/2 + 32/2) ---> break down into two fractions = (50 + 16) = 66 |
1400/5 = (1400/100) x 20---> divide by 100 then multiply by 20 = 14 x 20 = 280 |
| Division by 10 | Division by 50 |
| 0.5/10 = 0.05 ---> 5% is 50% divided by ten |
2100/50---> divide by 100 then multiply by 2 = (2100/100) x 2 = 21 x 2 = 42 |
| Division by 100 | Division by 500 |
|---|---|
| 25/100---> move the decimal point two places to the left = 0.25 |
17/500 = (17/100) x 0.2---> divide by 100 then multiply by 0.2 = 0.17 x 0.2 = 0.034 |
| Division by 25 | Division by parts |
| 500/25 ---> divide by 100 then multiply by 4 = (500/100) x 4 = 5 x 4 = 20 |
Imagine dividing $874 between two persons 874/2 = 800/2 + 74/2 = 400 + 37 = 437 |
| 750/25---> divide by 100 then multiply by 4 = (750/100) x 4 = 7.5 x 2 x 2 = 30 |
Division using the factors of the divisor: "double division" 70/14 = (70/7)/2 ---> 7 and 2 are the factors of 14 = 10/2 = 5 |
