👉 Division is the mathematical operation that distributes a quantity into equal parts, essentially finding how many times one number fits into another. For instance, dividing 300 by 10 means determining how many groups of 10 can be made from 300. This operation is the inverse of multiplication, where you multiply a number by its reciprocal (1 divided by it) and then divide the product by the divisor. For example, 300 divided by 10 equals 30 because 10 multiplied by 30 equals 300. Division can also result in fractions or decimals, depending on the context and the divisor's size. When dividing by a whole number, the quotient is an integer, while dividing by a fraction or a decimal yields a decimal result.
