Division facts express the inverse relationship between multiplication and division: a dividend can be partitioned into equal groups, and the quotient gives the number in each group or the number of groups. This includes rapid, accurate recall of basic whole-number facts with dividends and products through 100, including related fact families and special cases such as division by 1, while excluding division by zero, multi-digit computation, decimals, fractions, and general division with remainders.
Division is the inverse, or opposite, of multiplication. To solve a division fact, think of the related multiplication fact.
Example:
Read the problem as: “How many groups of are in ?”
Think of the multiplication fact with and :
Recall that:
Therefore:
You can check the answer by multiplying:
So, the answer is .
