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\">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\">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\"

This is a partitive division problem. Let us see how we can find the answer to this question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, we have 24 flowers and 8 groups.

Let\u2019s solve a few partitive division examples and practice problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"8-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>1. 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\"><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Number of candies $= 48$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Number of boxes $=$ Number of groups $= 12$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">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\">Step 1: $48 \u2013 12 = 36$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: $36 \u2013 12 = 24$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 3: $24 \u2013 12 = 12$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 4: $12 \u2013 12 = 0$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We subtracted 12 four times to get 0 remainder. So, each box will have 4 candies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>2. Use the long division method to find how many roses each gift basket will contain if there are 100 roses and 4 gift baskets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Number of roses $= 100$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Number of gift baskets $= 4$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Number of roses in each gift basket $= 100 \\div 4$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/long-division.png\" alt=\"Long division\" class=\"wp-image-37018\" title=\"Long division\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Quotient $= 25$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, there will be 25 roses in each gift basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>3.
