In early classes, you have learnt the art of splitting objects into groups. Suppose you
have plucked 21 flowers from the garden and you want to give 3 to each of your
friends, then how many of your friends will be able to get flowers?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 What if 21 is divided by 7?

21 split into 7 groups has 3 in each group. On splitting, we find the number of

Hence, 21 ÷ 3 = 7. groups = 3.
Hence, 21 ÷ 7 = 3.

Now, divide 30 star-shaped candies among 5 people.

1 2 3 4 5

Clearly, each person gets 6 candies.
30 ÷ 5 = 6
Let us find 30 ÷ 6, by splitting equally into

6 groups. What do you get?
There are 5 candies in each group.

What is your observation from the above
examples?

21 ÷ 7 = 3 (Here, Dividend = 21, Divisor = 7, Quotient = 3)
3 × 7 = 21
21 ÷ 3 = 7 (Here, Dividend = 21, Divisor = 3, Quotient = 7)
