Title: Division

Grade: 4-a Lesson: S1-L2

Explanation: The best way to understand divisions is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding.

Examples:

Divide 520 ÷ 4

Step 1a

Draw the division symbol ⟌ and write divisor 4 is on left side and dividend 520 closed under this symbol.

$1a$

Explanation: Arrange the numbers in division form.

Step 1b

5 is not divisible by 4 but since, 4 × 1 = 4.
We proceed for it.
Subtract 5 - 4 = 1 and write 1 in first Quotient.

$1b$

Explanation: In this step, 5 is not divisible by 4. However, since 4 × 1 = 4, we proceed with it. Subtract 5 - 4 = 1 and write 4 in the first Quotient.

Step 1c

Now, bring down the next value, 2. The number to be considered now is 12.
12 is divisible by 4, but since 4 × 3 = 12, subtract 12 - 12 = 0 and write 3 in the Quotient.

$1c$

Explanation: In this step, bring down the next value, 2, and write it next to 2. Since 12 is divisible by 4, we divide 12 by 4 to get 3 and then subtract 12 from 12, resulting in 0. Hence, 520 divided by 4 is 130.

Step 1d

Therefore the quotient = 130. and the remainder is 0.
520 ÷ 4 = 130.

$1d$

Explanation: Hence, 520 divided by 4 is 130.
