Explain the process of division.

Process of Division :

The division is a method of distributing a group of things into equal parts. It is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, which gives a fair result of sharing. 

The division is inverse of multiplication.

We use the $÷$ symbol, 

$20 ÷ 4 = 5$

 For example,

• Divide the dividend's numbers by the divisor’s numbers.
• Divide the dividend’s first number by the divisor’s first number.
• 6 divided by 1 is 6.
• Multiply the divisor (123) by 6 and see if it is less than the first 3 digits of dividend. If not, multiply by 5 and check.
• Place the result underneath the dividend’s 3 digits and subtract.

 Bring down the dividend’s next number and divide as you did in the last step until there are no more numbers left.
