Division is a way to split a number into equal parts. For example, if you have 12 apples and want to share them with 3 friends, you can divide the apples so that each friend gets the same amount. In this case, you would divide 12 by 3, which equals 4. This means each friend receives 4 apples. In math, division is often represented by the symbol “÷” or a slash “/”. It helps us understand how many times one number can fit into another. For instance, if you divide 20 by 5, you find out that 5 fits into 20 exactly 4 times.
