Division is a process of equal distribution.
When we are repeatedly subtracting a number from another bigger
number until it becomes 0, it can be represented as division (÷)
Ex-
Here in the above example we are taking away some balls from the bigger group
of balls.
We need to find out the total number of objects in the group and the number
of objects being taken away repeatedly.
So the division statement can be written as
total no of objects in the group ÷ the number that is taken away = no of times
it is taken away
OR
total no of objects ÷ no of objects in each group = no of groups
in this example
total no of balls =25
no of balls taken away each time= 5
