Multiplication and Division

Division is the opposite of multiplication. It involves making equal groups from a total and finding how many are in each group. Multiplication is a shortcut for addition of equal groups. Division can be understood by relating it to known multiplication facts - if you know 4 x 5 = 20, then you also know that 20 divided by 5 is 4. Division problems can be solved by thinking of the related multiplication fact and finding the missing factor.
