It is one of the four fundamental operations in mathematics and results in an equal distribution of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose you wish to divide 20 oranges equally among 4 groups. It\u2019s a partitive model of division, since the number of groups is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

Division?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">A partitive division problem is one where you know the total number of groups, and are trying to find the number of items in each group. Partition division\u2014sometimes referred to as sharing, partitive, and grouping division\u2014is a method of dividing a sum into the same amount of groups. If you divide in this fashion, then 284 signifies that there are 28 items evenly distributed across 4 groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

Suppose, there are 48 candies equally distributed in 12 boxes. Find how many candies are in each box using repeated subtraction.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Number of candies $= 48$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Number of boxes $=$ Number of groups $= 12$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s use repeated subtraction to solve this problem. Subtract the number of boxes from the total number of candies until we get remainder 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: $48 \u2013 12 = 36$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: $36 \u2013 12 = 24$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: $24 \u2013 12 = 12$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: $12 \u2013 12 = 0$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">We subtracted 12 four times to get 0 remainder.

So, whenever we have to divide an item or an amount into equal groups, we use partitive division. Examples: Dividing expenses or bills, planning household budgets, distributing things or goods equally among people, managing time for different tasks, etc.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\">\n                <div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-2-32061dc3-1398-4cb0-9c4f-dac27df6a365\" tabindex=\"0\">\n                    <p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-32061dc3-1398-4cb0-9c4f-dac27df6a365\"><strong>When do we use quotative division?<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div><\/div><div role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-2-32061dc3-1398-4cb0-9c4f-dac27df6a365\">\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">We use quotative division when the total number of items in each group is known and we have to find the number of groups.
