DIVISION STORIES

example: Suman had a collection of 28 shells. He wanted to share them equally

among his 7 friends. How many shells would each get?

Solution: Total shells = 28

Think! How many 7s are there in 28?

There are four 7s in 28 because 4 × 7 = 28. (Using the 7 times table)

So, 28 ÷ 7 = 4. Thus, each friend will get 4 shells.

Using long division:

Total shells = 28

To share 28 shells equally among 7 friends,

we divide 28 by 7.

Thus, each friend will get 4 shells.
