Although mathematics seems difficult to most people, it is far from true. Many mathematical operations are quite easy to understand, especially if you know the rules and formulas. So, knowing the multiplication table, you can quickly multiply in your head. The main thing is to constantly train and not forget the rules of multiplication. The same can be said about division.
Let's look at the division of integers, fractions and negatives. Let's remember the basic rules, techniques and methods.
Let's start, perhaps, with the very definition and name of the numbers that participate in this operation. This will greatly facilitate further presentation and perception of information.
Division is one of the four basic mathematical operations. Its study begins in primary school. It is then that the children are shown the first example of dividing a number by a number and the rules are explained.
The operation involves two numbers: the dividend and the divisor. The first is the number that is being divided, the second is the number that is being divided by. The result of division is the quotient.
There are several notations for writing this operation: “:”, “/” and a horizontal bar - writing in the form of a fraction, when the dividend is at the top, and the divisor is below, below the line.
When studying a particular mathematical operation, the teacher is obliged to introduce students to the basic rules that they should know. True, they are not always remembered as well as we would like. That's why we decided to refresh your memory a little on the four fundamental rules.
Basic rules for dividing numbers that you should always remember:
1. You cannot divide by zero. This rule should be remembered first.
2. You can divide zero by any number, but the result will always be zero.
3. If a number is divided by one, we get the same number.
4. If a number is divided by itself, we get one.
As you can see, the rules are quite simple and easy to remember. Although some may forget such a simple rule as impossibility or confuse the division of zero by a number with it.
One of the most useful rules- a sign by which the possibility of division is determined natural number for the other without any reserve. Thus, the signs of divisibility by 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 are distinguished. Let's consider them in more detail. They make it much easier to perform operations on numbers. We also give an example for each rule of dividing a number by a number.
These rules-signs are quite widely used by mathematicians.
The easiest sign to remember. A number that ends in an even digit (2, 4, 6, 8) or 0 is always divisible by two. Quite easy to remember and use. So, the number 236 ends in an even digit, which means it is divisible by two.
Let's check: 236:2 = 118. Indeed, 236 is divisible by 2 without a remainder.
This rule is best known not only to adults, but also to children.
How to correctly divide numbers by 3? Remember the following rule.
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of three. For example, let's take the number 381. The sum of all digits will be 12. This is three, which means it is divisible by 3 without a remainder.
Let's also check this example. 381: 3 = 127, then everything is correct.
Everything is simple here too. You can divide by 5 without a remainder only those numbers that end in 5 or 0. For example, let’s take numbers such as 705 or 800. The first ends in 5, the second in zero, therefore they are both divisible by 5. This is one one of the simplest rules that allows you to quickly divide by a single-digit number 5.
Let's check this sign using the following examples: 405:5 = 81; 600:5 = 120. As you can see, the sign works.
If you want to find out whether a number is divisible by 6, then you first need to find out whether it is divisible by 2, and then by 3. If so, then the number can be divided by 6 without a remainder. For example, the number 216 is divisible by 2 , since it ends with an even digit, and with 3, since the sum of the digits is 9.
Let's check: 216:6 = 36. The example shows that this sign is valid.
Let's also talk about how to divide numbers by 9. The sum of digits whose divisible by 9 is divided by this number. Similar to the rule of dividing by 3. For example, the number 918. Let's add all the digits and get 18 - a number that is a multiple of 9. So, it divisible by 9 without a remainder.
Let's solve this example to check: 918:9 = 102.
One last sign to know. Only those numbers that end in 0 are divisible by 10. This pattern is quite simple and easy to remember. So, 500:10 = 50.
That's all the main signs. By remembering them, you can make your life easier. Of course, there are other numbers for which there are signs of divisibility, but we have highlighted only the main ones.
In mathematics, there is not only a multiplication table, but also a division table. Once you learn it, you can easily perform operations. Essentially, a division table is a reverse multiplication table. Compiling it yourself is not difficult. To do this, you should rewrite each line from the multiplication table in this way:
1. Put the product of the number in first place.
2. Put a division sign and write down the second factor from the table.
3. After the equal sign, write down the first factor.
For example, take the following line from the multiplication table: 2*3= 6. Now we rewrite it according to the algorithm and get: 6 ÷ 3 = 2.
Quite often, children are asked to create a table on their own, thus developing their memory and attention.
If you don’t have time to write it, you can use the one presented in the article.
Let's talk a little about the types of division.
Let's start with the fact that we can distinguish between division of integers and fractions. Moreover, in the first case we can talk about operations with integers and decimals, and in the second - only about fractional numbers. In this case, a fraction can be either the dividend or the divisor, or both at the same time. This is due to the fact that operations on fractions are different from operations on integers.
Based on the numbers that participate in the operation, two types of division can be distinguished: into single-digit numbers and into multi-digit ones. The simplest is division by a single digit number. Here you will not need to carry out cumbersome calculations. In addition, a division table can be a good help. Dividing by other - two-, three-digit numbers - is harder.
Let's look at examples for these types of division:
14:7 = 2 (division by a single digit number).
240:12 = 20 (division by a two-digit number).
45387: 123 = 369 (division by a three-digit number).
The last one can be distinguished by division, which involves positive and negative numbers. When working with the latter, you should know the rules by which a result is assigned a positive or negative value.
When dividing numbers with different signs (the dividend is a positive number, the divisor is negative, or vice versa), we get a negative number. When dividing numbers with the same sign (both the dividend and the divisor are positive or vice versa), we get a positive number.
For clarity, consider the following examples:
So, we have looked at the basic rules, given an example of dividing a number by a number, now let’s talk about how to correctly perform the same operations with fractions.
Although dividing fractions may seem like a lot of work at first, working with them is actually not that difficult. Dividing a fraction is done in much the same way as multiplying, but with one difference.
In order to divide a fraction, you must first multiply the numerator of the dividend by the denominator of the divisor and record the resulting result as the numerator of the quotient. Then multiply the denominator of the dividend by the numerator of the divisor and write the result as the denominator of the quotient.
It can be done simpler. Rewrite the divisor fraction by swapping the numerator with the denominator, and then multiply the resulting numbers.
For example, let's divide two fractions: 4/5:3/9. First, let's turn the divisor over and get 9/3. Now let's multiply the fractions: 4/5 * 9/3 = 36/15.
As you can see, everything is quite easy and no more difficult than dividing by a single-digit number. The examples are not easy to solve if you do not forget this rule.
Division is one of the mathematical operations that every child learns in elementary school. There are certain rules that you should know, techniques that make this operation easier. Division can be with or without a remainder; there can be division of negative and fractional numbers.
It is quite easy to remember the features of this mathematical operation. We have discussed the most important points, looked at more than one example of dividing a number by a number, and even talked about how to work with fractions.
If you want to improve your knowledge of mathematics, we advise you to remember these simple rules. In addition, we can advise you to develop memory and mental arithmetic skills by doing mathematical dictations or simply trying to verbally calculate the quotient of two random numbers. Believe me, these skills will never be superfluous.
This lesson is devoted to the topic: “Division by 2.” In this lesson we will consolidate knowledge about the multiplication table by 2. We will practice dividing numbers by 2, the multiplication table that we compiled in the last lesson will help us with this.
In this lesson we will practice dividing numbers by 2, the multiplication table that we compiled in the last lesson will help us with this.
To find the result of division, you need to remember well the corresponding equality from the multiplication table, since the operations of division and multiplication are related.
Let's complete the following task:
Exercise 1
Divide by 2 each of the following even numbers (that is, reduce them by 2 times): 10, 16, 14, 8, 12.
All numbers in the task can be found in the two-times table. They are products from the multiplication table by 2.
So, we need to divide each of the numbers by 2, that is, divide in half.
1. 10:2=5 (2·5=10);
2. 16:2=8 (2·8=16);
3. 14:2=7 (2·7=14);
4. 8:2=4 (2·4=8);
5. 12:2=6 (2·6=12).
Let's complete the following task and check whether we have learned the 2 multiplication table well.
In mathematics, all numbers can be divided into even and odd.
Even is a number that is divisible by two without a remainder. For example, in the first ten there are six even numbers: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
For each division expression, select the corresponding equality from the multiplication table:
18:2, 10:2, 4:2, 16:2, 8:2.
1. Expression 18:2 corresponds to the equality 2·9=18;
2. 10:2 2·5=10;
4. 16:2 2·8=16;
Fill in the missing numbers in the division by 2 table (Fig. 1):
Rice. 1. Illustration of task 3
1. We know that 2·2=4, which means 4:2=2;
2. 2·3=6, which means 6:2=3;
3. 2·4=8, which means 8:2=4;
4. 2·5=10, which means 10:2=5;
5. 2·6=12, which means 12:2=6;
6. 2·7=14, which means 14:2=7.
Master Umelkin invented an unusual machine; it can reduce numbers by exactly 2 times (Fig. 2). What result will you get if you halve the numbers: 10, 14, 4, 16, 8, 18?
Rice. 2. Illustration of task 4

Division
1. The meaning of the action of division.
2. Table division.
3. Techniques for memorizing division tables.
1. The meaning of the action of division
The action of division is considered in elementary school as the inverse action of multiplication.
From a set-theoretic point of view, the meaning of division corresponds to the operation of partitioning a set into equal subsets. Thus, the process of finding the results of the action of division is associated with objective actions of two types:
a) dividing the set into equal parts (for example, 8 circles are divided equally into 4 boxes - 8 circles are laid out one at a time into 4 boxes, and then count how many circles are in each box);
b) dividing the set into parts with a certain amount in each part (for example, 8 circles are laid out in boxes of 4 pieces - put 8 circles of 4 pieces in boxes, and then count how many boxes there are; division according to this principle in the method is called “ division by content").
Using similar object actions and drawings, children find the results of division.
An expression like 12:6 is called a quotient.
The number 12 in this notation is called the dividend, and the number 6 is the divisor.
A notation of the form 12: 6 = 2 is called equality. The number 2 is called the value of the expression. Since the number 2 in this case is obtained as a result of division, it is also often called the quotient.
For example:
Find the quotient of 10 and 5. (The quotient of 10 and 5 is 2.)
Since the names of the components of the division action are introduced by agreement (children are told these names and need to remember them), the teacher actively uses tasks that require recognizing the components of actions and using their names in speech.
For example:
1. Among these expressions, find those in which the divisor is 3:
2:2 6:3 6:2 10:5 3:1 3-2 15:3 3-4
2. Compose a quotient in which the dividend is equal to 15. Find its value.
3. Choose examples in which the quotient is 6. Underline them in red. Choose examples in which the quotient is 2. Underline them in blue.
4. What is the number 4 called in the expression 20: 4? What is the number 20 called? Find the quotient. Make up an example in which the quotient is equal to the same number, but the dividend and divisor are different.
5. Dividend 8, divisor 2. Find the quotient.
In grade 3, children are introduced to the rule for the relationship of division components, which is the basis for learning to find unknown division components when solving equations:
If you multiply the divisor by the quotient, you get the dividend.
If you divide the dividend by the quotient, you get a divisor.
For example:
Solve equation 16: x = 2. (The divisor is unknown in the equation. To find the unknown divisor, you need to divide the dividend by the quotient. x = 16: 2, x - 8.)
However, these rules in the 3rd grade mathematics textbook are not a generalization of the child’s ideas about ways to check the operation of division. The rule for checking division results is discussed in the textbook after familiarization with extra-table multiplication and division (familiarity with multiplication and division of two-digit numbers by single-digit numbers not included in the multiplication and division table), before the last most difficult case of the form 87: 29. This is explained by the fact that obtaining division results in this case is a complex process of selecting a quotient with its constant verification by multiplication, therefore children consider the rule for checking the action of division even earlier than the rule for checking the action of multiplication.
Rule for checking the action of division:
1) The quotient is multiplied by the divisor.
2) Compare the result obtained with the dividend. If these numbers are equal, the division is correct.
For example: 78: 3 = 26. Check: 1) 26 3 = 78; 2) 78 = 78.
2. Table division
In elementary school, the action of division is considered as the inverse action of multiplication. In this regard, children are first introduced to cases of division without a remainder within 100 - the so-called table division. Children are introduced to the operation of division after they have already memorized the multiplication tables for numbers 2 and 3. Based on knowledge of these tables, already in the fourth lesson after familiarization with division, the first table of division by 2 is compiled. To obtain its values, an object drawing is used.
The quotient values in this table are obtained by counting the elements of the picture in the picture.
The following division table - division by 3 is the last table studied in second grade. This table is compiled based on the relationship between the components of multiplication using the rule for finding an unknown factor. Due to the fact that this rule is explicitly proposed to children in full form only in the 3rd grade, at the stage of compiling a division by 3 table, it is still more advisable to rely on a subject model of the action (a model on a flannelograph or a drawing).
Calculate and remember the results of actions. To check, use the picture:
3x3 = ... 9:3 = ...
4x3 = ... 12:3 = ... 12:4 = ...
5x3 = ... 15:3 = ... 15:5 = ...
6x3 = ... 18:3 = .... 18:6 = ...
7x3 = ... 21:3 = .... 21:7 = ...
8x3 = ... 24:3 = ... 24:8 = ...
9 3 = ... 27: 3 = ... 27: 9 = ...
Using such a figure makes it possible to create a third case of division, interconnected with the first two (third column). It does not belong to the table of division by 3, but is a member of the interconnected triple, which is easier to remember, focusing on the first two cases. This method of memorizing a division table (reference to an interconnected triple) is a convenient mnemonic device. You can see how children use it, really memorizing only one method of multiplication.
All other division tables are studied in 3rd grade. Since multiplication of the number 4 and multiplication by 4 are also studied in the 3rd grade, the practice of separately studying multiplication and division tables is stopped in this year of study. Starting with the multiplication table for the number 4, the division tables interconnected with it are studied in one lesson, immediately compiling four interconnected columns of multiplication and division cases.
Calculate and remember:
4 5 = 20 5x4 20:4
4 6 = 24 6x4 24: 4
4-7 = 28 7x4 28:4
4-8 = 32 8x4 32:4
4 9 = 36 9x4 36: 4
20:5 24:6 28:7 32:8 36:9
Using the results of the first column, children receive the second column by rearranging the factors, and the results of the third and fourth columns - based on the rule for the relationship of multiplication components:
If the product is divided by one of the factors, you get another factor.
All other division tables are obtained in a similar way.
3. Techniques for memorizing division tables
Techniques for memorizing tabular division cases are associated with methods of obtaining a division table from the corresponding tabular multiplication cases.
1. A technique related to the meaning of the action of division
With small values of the dividend and divisor, the child can either perform objective actions to directly obtain the result of division, or perform these actions mentally, or use a finger model.
For example: 10 flower pots were placed equally on two windows. How many pots are there on each window?
