How it works
Every divide is a times fact turned round.
36 ÷ 4 = 9 because 4 × 9 = 36.
Think: what times the divisor gives the number?
Example 1: Think of the times fact
- 36 ÷ 4 = ?
- What times 4 makes 36?
- 4 × 9 = 36.
- So the answer is 9.
Example 2: The other way round
- 36 ÷ 9 = ?
- What times 9 makes 36?
- 9 × 4 = 36.
- So the answer is 4.
Example 3: A smaller one
- 8 ÷ 4 = ?
- What times 4 makes 8?
