Basic Division. Do you know why we divide? We divide to distribute things equally. There are 8 carrots, they need to be divided equally among 4 rabbits. How many carrots will each rabbit get? First take away 4 carrots so that each rabbit gets 1 carrot each. 4 carrots are still left. Take away these also one by one. No more carrots are left. All the carrots are distributed and each rabbit has 2 carrots. We have taken away 4 carrots 2 times. This can be written as 8 minus 4 is equal to 4. 4 minus 4 is equal to 0. Thus, 8 divided by 4 is equal to 2. This means for equal distribution, that is, for division, we do repeated subtraction and the answer is the number of times we subtract the same number.
