Now we face the big challenge that I've been talking about, although at first it won't be super hard.
Division is the opposite of multiplication. In division, we divide one number by another. Our problem this time is gonna be 8 divided by 2. What this means is that we're gonna divide 8 into 2 groups. In other words, the question to ask ourselves is, what times 2 equals 8? Well, there isn't much of a good way to walk you through this, because there's really just a flat out answer for this one. And it is...
4!! Do you know why? Well, 4x2 is 8, and so 8 sliced in half (2 groups) would be 4!! If you don't understand this, or disagreed with this answer, I would recommend Khan Academy. You might want some practice.
OK, you've now mastered the basics of the big challenge, division. But can you overcome the obstacles that lay ahead?
We'll find out the next time we get deeper N2 Math!!
