  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
