Class 4 Maths - ICSE
Division
In this chapter, Class 4 ICSE students learn division as repeated subtraction and sharing equally. We build upon multiplication tables to divide 2-digit and 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers, both with and without remainders. Students explore important terms like dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder, and learn how to check their answers using multiplication. Mastering division is crucial for ICSE board exams as it forms the foundation for long division, fractions, and solving daily life word problems, which usually carry 10 to 15 marks in school assessments.

Meaning of Division
Division means sharing a total amount into equal groups or repeated subtraction of the same number.
Parts of Division
The number being divided is the Dividend, the number that divides is the Divisor, the answer is the Quotient, and the left-over amount is the Remainder.
Division using Multiplication Tables
We can easily solve division problems by using our multiplication tables, since division is the reverse of multiplication.
Long Division Method
A step-by-step method to divide larger numbers by going through steps of divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down.
Checking Division
We can check if our division is correct using the rule: (Quotient × Divisor) + Remainder = Dividend.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the remainder is bigger than the divisor?
If your remainder is equal to or bigger than the divisor, it means you can divide one more time. You need to increase your quotient by 1.
How can I check if my division answer is correct?
Multiply your quotient by the divisor and then add the remainder. If this final number matches your original dividend, your answer is correct.
What happens when we divide a number by 1?
When you divide any number by 1, the answer is the number itself. For example, 15 ÷ 1 = 15.
