Division relationships
| The four terms | Dividend / Divisor = Quotient, with Remainder left over |
|---|---|
| Fundamental relation | Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder |
| Remainder rule | Remainder is ALWAYS less than the Divisor |
| Inverse of multiplication | If a x b = c, then c / a = b and c / b = a |
Sharing vs grouping (same sentence, two meanings)
| Sharing | Total / Number of groups = Size of each group ("how many each?") |
|---|---|
| Grouping | Total / Size of each group = Number of groups ("how many groups?") |
| Repeated subtraction | Grouping = subtract the group size until you hit 0; the count of subtractions is the quotient |
