Lesson 7 of 10

Dividing with known facts

Objective. Use a times table fact to answer the matching division.

The key idea

Every multiplication fact gives two divisions. Because 6 × 7 = 42, both 42 ÷ 6 = 7 and 42 ÷ 7 = 6.

Worked example

Work out 63 ÷ 9.

Work out 63 ÷ 9
Illustrated card showing Work out 63 ÷ 9
  1. 1Ask: 9 times what gives 63?
  2. 29 × 7 = 63.

Answer: 7

Practice

Each question comes with a picture and a listen button. Try it first, then reveal the answer.

Common mistake. Swapping the divisor and the answer, e.g. saying 63 ÷ 9 = 9.
