Examples of division operation questions and solutions

We put 45 small stones equally into 3 jars. Calculate the number of small stones in one jar.

Mathematical sentence: \(45\space\div\space3=\underline{\quad\quad}\)

METHOD

\(\;\;\;15\\ 3\overline{\smash{)}45}\\ \,\underline{-3}\downarrow\\ \;\;\,15\\ \;\underline{-15}\\ \;\;\,\,\;00 \)

Divide tens

4 tens\(\div\) 3 = 1 tens remainder 1 tens

Change 1 tens to 10 ones.

10 sa \(+\) 5 sa = 15 sa

Divide ones

15 ones \(\div\) 3 = 5 ones

So, \(45\space\div\space3=\underline{15}\)
