Multiplication and Division Facts

 

How can you use your times table facts to work out 48 ÷ 3 ?

 

1) We can partition 48 so that it is easier to divide by 3. 

 

48 = 30 + 18

 

2) Now we can divide 30 and 18 by 3, which are multiples of 3.

30 ÷ 3 = 10

 18 ÷ 3 = 6

 

3) Now we can recombine 10 + 6 = 16.

 

So, 48 ÷ 3 = 16

 

Use this method, and your known times table facts, to calculate the following:

 

75 ÷ 5 = ______

64 ÷ 4 =  _____

91 ÷ 7 = ______
