Key Concepts

• Multiplication facts to divide with 6.
• Multiplication facts to divide with 7.

The Relation between multiplication and division:

Multiplication and division are closely related, given that division is the inverse operation of multiplication.
When we divide, we separate into equal groups, while multiplication involves joining equal groups.

• If we have 6 x 8 = 48, its inverse relations (in the form of a division) will be the following:
  48 ÷ 6 = 8
• If we have 7 x 9 =63, its inverse relations (in the form of a division) will be the following:
  63 ÷ 7 = 9

Find 36 ÷ 6                                               

What times 6 equals 36.

6 x 6 = 36

Each boy gets 6 drums.

Another way:

Each boy gets 6 drums.

4.3.2 Multiplication facts to divide with 7

Example1:

Toby shared 35 carrots among 7 people in a park. How many carrots does each get?

Solution:

Find 35 ÷ 7

What times 7 equals 35.

5 x 7 = 35

Each member gets 7 carrots.

Another way:

Each person gets 7 carrots.

Example2:

Daniel arranged 56 pencils in 7 boxes. How many pencils he kept in each box?

Solution:

Find 56 ÷ 7

What times 7 equals 56.

8 x 7= 56

Each box contains 8 pencils.

Another way:

Each box contains 8 pencils.
