Class 2 Division
Basics of Division
We can say division is a process by which equal amount of distribution can be done among a group and it is denoted as . Let s have a look at some examples.
Example 1. 25 chocolates are there, it must be distributed equally among 5 boys. How many chocolates each boy should get?
Solution. No. of chocolates each boy will get = Total number of chocolates Number of boys
= 25 ÷ 5
We must find out in 5 tables where 25 comes i.e. 5 × 5 = 25
That means 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Each boy should get 5 chocolates.
From the above example we conclude that division can be done using tables.
2-Digits Division
Let's know another way of dividing numbers.
Example 1. 72 4
Solution.
Step 1.
Start with tens place first.
7 tens ÷ 4 = 1 ten
Write 1 ten above 7.
Step 2. Subtract 4 from 7.
7 tens − 4 tens = 3 tens
Step 3.
Bring down 2 from ones place.
3 tens + 2 ones = 32
Step 4.
Divide 32 by 4. In other words, we must find out in 4's table, where 32 comes.
4 × 8 = 32
32 ÷ 4 = 8
8 goes to the ones place. Subtract 32 from 32.
32 − 32 = 0
So, 72 ÷ 4 = 18
Here 72 is known as dividend, 4 is known as divisor and 18 is known as quotient.
3-Digits Division
It is similar to the 2-digit division. Let's have a look at some examples.
Example 1. 456 ÷ 3
Solution.
Step 1.
Start with hundreds place first.
4 hundreds ÷ 3 = 1 hundred
Write 1 hundred above 4.
Step 2.
Subtract 3 from 4.
4 hundreds & 3 hundreds = 1 hundreds
Step 3.
Bring down 5 from tens place.
1 hundreds + 5 tens = 10 tens + 5 tens = 15 tens
Divide 15 by 3. In other words, we must find out in 3s table, where 15 comes.
3 × 5 = 15
15 ÷ 3 = 5
5 goes to the tens place of quotient. Subtract 15 from 15 i.e. 15 − 15 = 0
Step 4.
Bring down 6 from ones place of dividend.
6 ÷ 3 = 2
2 goes to the ones place of quotient.
So, 456 ÷ 3 = 152
Example 2. 675 ÷ 5
Solution.
So, the answer is 135.
Division With Remainder
Let's assume we have 6 chocolates and we have to divide it among 5 children equally. If we give one chocolate to each child, then 5 chocolates will be over, and 1 chocolate will remain with us. Let's go through some examples given below.
Example 1. 75 ÷ 4
Solution.
Here 75 is dividend, 4 is divisor, 18 is quotient and 3 is remainder.
Example 2. 93 ÷ 5
Solution.
Here 93 is dividend, 5 is divisor, 18 is quotient and 3 is remainder.
Word Problem
In our day to day life division is used to solve different problems. Let's have a look at some examples.
Example 1. Divide 65 chocolates among 5 girls. How many chocolates each girl will get?
Solution.Total number of chocolates = 65
Number of girls = 5
Each girl will get = Total number of chocolates ÷ Number of girls
= 65 ÷ 5
Each girl will get 13 chocolates.
