How many candies will each friend get? You can solve this problem using repeated subtraction where you will subtract 5 from 15 \u201cthree\u201d times to get 0 in the end. This way each friend will get 3 candies and no candy will be left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$15\\;-\\;5 = 10$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$10\\;-\\;5 = 5$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$5\\;-\\;5 = 0$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"623\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/15-candies.png\" alt=\"15 candies\" class=\"wp-image-37341\" title=\"15 candies\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/15-candies.png 623w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/15-candies-295x300.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">However, if there are 16 sweets and 5 people, you will subtract 5 \u201cthree\u201d times; each friend will get 3 candies and you will be left with 1 spare candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$16\\;-\\;5 = 11$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$11\\;-\\;5 = 6$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$6\\;-\\;5 = 1$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/16-candies.png\" alt=\"16 candies\" class=\"wp-image-37343\" title=\"16 candies\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/16-candies.png 622w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/16-candies-300x297.png 300w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/16-candies-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/16-candies-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, repeated subtraction is a good way to introduce \u201cdivision\u201d to kids. Division is also known as repeated subtraction. Let us look at the definition and example of the concept to make our understanding more clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-games-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4

Repeated Subtraction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let us look at repeated subtraction as division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Repeated subtraction is subtracting the same number from a large number until the end result is zero or less than the number being subtracted. This process is also called division. In other words, if a same number is subtracted from a different number until the remainder is zero or less than the actual number. The number of times we subtract the same value is also known as quotient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Divide 20 stars in 4 groups.
