Equal Grouping
Division means making equal groups.
Anchal has 24 earrings. She wants to put them in packets
of 8 earrings each.
She starts by putting 8 earrings in one packet. She is left
with 16 earrings.
She puts 8 earrings in another packet. She is left with 8
earrings.
She puts 8 earrings in the third packet.
Now, she has no earrings.
On arranging 24 earrings into groups of 8 earrings each,
we get 3 packets.
Thus, 24 ÷ 8 = 3
