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

= – 4 1
1 6
Each friend gets 2 ladoos, 4 more ladoos are distributed.
– 4 2
=
1 2
Each friend gets 3 ladoos, 4 more ladoos are distributed.

– 4 3
=
8
Each friend gets 4 ladoos, 4 more ladoos are distributed.

– 4 4
=
4
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.
