Division Stories
Some daily situations require division of a bigger number by a smaller
number. This may or may not leave behind a remainder.
Example 3: Aman wants to fix 56 stamps equally in 8 pages of
her stamp album. How many stamps should she fix
on each page?
Solution: Number of stamps = 56
Number of pages = 8
\ Number of stamps on each page = 56 ÷ 8 = 7 (Recall that 8 × 7 = 56)
Example 4: 6 eggs can be packed in a tray. How many trays are
needed to pack 672 eggs?
Solution: For 6 eggs we need 1 tray.
For 672 eggs we need (672 ÷ 6) trays.
1 1 2
6 6 7 2
– 6
7
– 6
1 2
– 1 2
0
Thus we need 112 trays.
Example 5: 374 toffees are to be packed in pouches. 8 toffees can
be packed in a pouch. How many complete pouches
be packed? How many toffees are left behind?
Solution: For 8 toffees we need 1 pouch.
Number of complete pouches = Quotient of 374 ÷ 8.
The remainder will be the number of toffees left behind.
