You already know it: Dividing using Multiplication!

First of all, the basics: division is best friends (or worst enemies depending on how you look at it) with multiplication. So, once you've learnt your times facts, you pretty much already know division. That's awesome, because you actually don't have to learn whole new divisions times tables, if you can figure out how to use this trick:


For example, if 5 x 4 = 20, then you know 20 divided by 5 = what?


                  You guessed it, 4!


Try these out:
6 x 5 = 30                  therefore, 30 divided by 6 = __


4 x 6 = 24                  therefore, 24 shared between 4 = __


7 x 4 = 28                  therefore, 28 split between 7 = __


5 x 5 = 25                  therefore, 25 shared between 5 = __


2 x 6 = 12                  therefore, 12 shared between by 2 = __


4 x 4 =                       therefore, 16 shared between by 4 = __


3 x 6 =                       therefore, 18 divided by 3 = __


Try 10 more of your own.
