Basic Division Lesson 8: Number 8

Here's an easy example:

We start with sixteen boxes. We divide these sixteen boxes by eight. This means: how many groups of eight can we make with the sixteen boxes that we have? Answer: 2.

    

Here's another example:

We start with forty boxes. We divide these forty boxes by eight. This means: how many groups of eight can we make with the forty boxes that we have? Answer: 5.
