                There are 20 ladoos. Meetu wants to divide them equally

                amongst 4 friends. How many ladoos will each of them get?
                Each friend gets 1 ladoo, 4 ladoos are distributed.
                                                                                                           2 0

                Each friend gets 5 ladoos, 4 more ladoos are distributed.
                                                                                                           – 4       5

                                                                                                             0

                No more ladoos are left for distributon. Here, we subtract 4, five
                times from 20. So, we can say that, 20 ÷ 4 = ________.
                Thus, division is repeated subtraction.
