Definition of Divide

If we share something equally between groups, we divide it.

In the picture, the \(12\) pandas have been split up equally into four groups of three.

We use the \(\div\) symbol, or sometimes the \(/\) symbol to show that we are dividing.

For example,

  • \(12 \div 4 = 3\)
  • \(12/4 = 3\)
