1. Let's start by understanding the problem: you want to learn how to solve questions involving numbers using division. 2. Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts or groups. The division formula is: $$\text{Dividend} \div \text{Divisor} = \text{Quotient}$$ where the dividend is the number to be divided, the divisor is the number you divide by, and the quotient is the result. 3. Important rules: - Dividing by zero is undefined. - Division is the inverse operation of multiplication. 4. Example: Solve $12 \div 3$. 5. Step 1: Identify dividend = 12, divisor = 3. 6. Step 2: Divide 12 by 3. 7. Step 3: Show intermediate cancellation if possible: $$\frac{12}{3} = \frac{\cancel{3} \times 4}{\cancel{3}} = 4$$ 8. Step 4: The quotient is 4. 9. So, $12 \div 3 = 4$. 10. You can apply this method to any division problem by identifying the dividend and divisor, then performing the division step by step.
