These NCERT Solutions answer all 95 questions of this chapter. The questions solved are:

1. Observe the following array of coconuts. Write two division facts using the given multiplication fact. (The array shows 5 rows of 7 coconuts, and 5 × 7 = 35.)

Chapter at a Glance

• Division is sharing into equal groups. Look at 35 coconuts set out in 5 rows of 7. Split them into 7 groups and each group has 5. Split them into 5 groups and each group has 7. So one multiplication fact, 5 × 7 = 35, gives two division facts: 35 ÷ 7 = 5 and 35 ÷ 5 = 7.
• The three names. In 35 ÷ 5 = 7, the number being shared (35) is the dividend, written N. The number of groups (5) is the divisor, written D. The answer (7) is the quotient, written Q. The book’s rule is N = D × Q. You can always check a division by multiplying back.
• Zeros make division easy. If you know 15 × 6 = 90, then you also know 150 × 6 = 900, so 900 ÷ 6 = 150 and 900 ÷ 150 = 6. Dividing 4000 by 10 just moves every digit one place to the right: 4000 ÷ 10 = 400. That is why 40 ÷ 10 = 4, 400 ÷ 10 = 40 and 4000 ÷ 10 = 400 all sit in a neat pattern.
• Split the number into friendly parts. To find 1248 ÷ 6, break 1248 into 1200 + 48. Now 1200 ÷ 6 = 200 and 48 ÷ 6 = 8, so the answer is 208. You may also split by taking away: 1992 = 2000 − 8, so 1992 ÷ 4 = 500 − 2 = 498.
• Halve, and halve again. Dividing by 4 is the same as halving twice. Half of 128 is 64, half of 64 is 32, so 128 ÷ 4 = 32. Dividing by 8 is halving three times. This works for 2, 4, 8, 16 — the numbers you reach by doubling 2.
• Partial quotients — take away in big chunks. For 582 ÷ 6, Susie takes away 120 (that is 6 × 20) again and again. Sunitha is quicker: she takes away 540 (that is 6 × 90) in one go, then 42 (that is 6 × 7). Both reach 97. Bigger chunks mean fewer steps.
• Sometimes something is left over. 535 ÷ 25 gives 21 with 10 left over. That 10 is the remainder, written R. The full rule is N = D × Q + R: 535 = 25 × 21 + 10. The remainder is always smaller than the divisor.
• A remainder can change your answer. 535 coconuts fill 21 bags with 10 coconuts left. Those 10 still need a bag, so the answer to “how many bags?” is 22, not 21. Always read the question again after you divide.
• Dividing with place value. Break 324 into 3 Hundreds + 2 Tens + 4 Ones. 3 Hundreds ÷ 3 = 1 Hundred. 2 Tens cannot be shared among 3, so each gets 0 Tens — and that 0 must be written. Regroup the 2 Tens as 20 Ones, add the 4 Ones to get 24 Ones, and 24 ÷ 3 = 8 Ones. The quotient is 108.
