Division

Division means repeated subtraction or distribution of a whole into equal quantities or in equal
number of parts or groups. It is the opposite of multiplication.
In division, the dividend is divided by the divisor to obtain the answer. The answer obtained is
called quotient and in some cases, we get a left over number after dividing. The number that is
left after division is called remainder.
We have already learnt division of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers by a 1-digit number in the previous
class. Now let’s learn division of 3-digit and 4-digit numbers by a 2-digit number.
