Basic Division Lesson 9: Number 9

Here's an easy example:

We start with twenty-seven boxes. We divide these twenty-seven boxes by nine. This means: how many groups of nine can we make with the twenty-seven boxes that we have? Answer: 3.

      

Here's another example:

We start with sixty-three boxes. We divide these sixty-three boxes by nine. This means: how many groups of nine can we make with the sixty-three boxes that we have? Answer: 7.

              

Try this problem.

We start with one hundred eight boxes. We divide these one hundred eight boxes by nine. This means: how many groups of nine can we make with the one hundred eight boxes that we have? Answer: 12.

    9 ÷ 9 =   1
  18 ÷ 9 =   2
  27 ÷ 9 =   3
  36 ÷ 9 =   4
  45 ÷ 9 =   5
  54 ÷ 9 =   6
  63 ÷ 9 =   7
  72 ÷ 9 =   8
  81 ÷ 9 =   9
  90 ÷ 9 = 10
  99 ÷ 9 = 11
108 ÷ 9 = 12

The following exercise will help you learn the above equations and what they mean. Please take your time: take whatever time you need to learn the material.
