Division using Multiplication Tables

Let us learn division using tables.

For examples:

1. Divide 35 ÷ 7

Solution:

1 × 7 = 7; 2 × 7 = 14; 3 × 7 = 21; 4 × 7 = 28; 5 × 7 = 35

Thus, there are 5 sevens in 35.

So, 35 ÷ 7 = 5.

2. Divide 32 ÷ 8

Solution:

1 × 8 = 8; 2 × 8 = 16; 3 × 8 = 24; 4 × 8 = 32

Thus, there are 4 eights in 32.

So, 32 ÷ 8 = 4.
