63 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,270 We can write that 4 divided by-- so this 4. 64 00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:56,980 Let me use the right colors. 65 00:02:56,979 --> 00:03:04,019 So this 4, which is this 4, divided by the 2 groups, these 66 00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:07,500 are the 2 groups: group 1 and this is group 2 right here. 67 00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:11,030 So divided into 2 groups or into 2 collections. 68 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:17,199 4 divided by 2 is equal to-- when you divide 4 into 2 69 00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:20,530 groups, each group is going to have 2 quarters in it. 70 00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:23,009 It's going to be equal to 2. 71 00:03:23,009 --> 00:03:25,049 And I just wanted to use this example because I want to show 72 00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:27,180 you that division is something that you've been 73 00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:29,260 using all along. 74 00:03:29,259 --> 00:03:32,560 And another important, I guess, takeaway or thing to realize 75 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,020 about this, is on some level this is the opposite 76 00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:36,330 of multiplication. 77 00:03:36,330 --> 00:03:43,210 If I said that I had 2 groups of 2 quarters I would multiply 78 00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:49,550 the 2 groups times the 2 quarters each and I would say 79 00:03:49,550 --> 00:03:53,000 I would then have 4 quarters. 80 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,930 So on some level these are saying the same thing. 81 00:03:55,930 --> 00:03:58,230 But just to make it a little bit more concrete in our 82 00:03:58,229 --> 00:04:01,399 head, let's do a couple of more examples. 83 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,599 Let's do a bunch of more examples. 84 00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:09,250 So let's write down, what is 6 divided by-- I'm trying to 85 00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:10,900 keep it nice and color coded. 86 00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:14,800 6 divided by 3, what is that equal to? 87 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,150 Let's just draw 6 objects. 88 00:04:17,149 --> 00:04:18,589 They can be anything. 89 00:04:18,589 --> 00:04:23,029 Let's say I have 6 bell peppers. 90 00:04:23,029 --> 00:04:25,049 I won't take too much trouble to draw them. 91 00:04:25,050 --> 00:04:27,259 Well, that's not what a bell pepper looks like, 92 00:04:27,259 --> 00:04:28,209 but you get the idea. 93 00:04:28,209 --> 00:04:34,370 So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 94 00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:36,030 And I'm going to divide it by 3. 95 00:04:36,029 --> 00:04:38,500 And one way that we can think about that is that means I want 96 00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:42,689 to divide my 6 bell peppers into 3 equal groups 97 00:04:42,689 --> 00:04:43,730 of bell peppers. 98 00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:46,230 You could kind of think of it if 3 people are going to share 99 00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:48,970 these bell peppers, how many do each of them get? 100 00:04:48,970 --> 00:04:50,840 So let's divide it into 3 groups. 101 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,769 So that's our 6 bell peppers. 102 00:04:52,769 --> 00:04:54,579 I'm going to divide it into 3 groups. 103 00:04:54,579 --> 00:04:57,209 So the best way to divide it into 3 groups is I can have 1 104 00:04:57,209 --> 00:05:02,469 group right there, 2 groups, or the second group right there, 105 00:05:02,470 --> 00:05:04,910 and then, the third group. 106 00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:10,350 And then each group will have exactly how many bell peppers? 107 00:05:10,350 --> 00:05:12,120 They'll have 1, 2. 108 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,509 1, 2. 109 00:05:13,509 --> 00:05:15,139 1, 2 bell peppers. 110 00:05:15,139 --> 00:05:20,060 So 6 divided by 3 is equal to 2. 111 00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:23,030 So the best way or one way to think about it is that you 112 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:26,789 divided the 6 into 3 groups. 113 00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:29,879 Now you could view that a slightly different way, 114 00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:31,899 although it's not completely different, but it's a good 115 00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:33,109 way to think about it. 116 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:38,150 You could also think of it as 6 divided by 3. 117 00:05:38,149 --> 00:05:41,689 And once again, let's say I have raspberries 118 00:05:41,689 --> 00:05:42,850 now-- easier to draw. 119 00:05:42,850 --> 00:05:47,460 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 120 00:05:47,459 --> 00:05:50,060 And here, instead of dividing it into 3 121 00:05:50,060 --> 00:05:51,600 groups like we did here. 122 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,290 This was 1 group, 2 group, 3 groups. 123 00:05:54,290 --> 00:05:57,180 Instead of dividing into 3 groups, what I want to do is 124 00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:00,689 say well, if I'm dividing 6 divided by 3, I want to 125 00:06:00,689 --> 00:06:02,709 divide it into groups of 3. 126 00:06:02,709 --> 00:06:04,259 Not into 3 groups. 127 00:06:04,259 --> 00:06:05,959 I want to divide it into groups of 3. 128 00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:09,489 So how many groups of 3 am I going to have? 129 00:06:09,490 --> 00:06:12,930 Well, let me draw some groups of 3. 130 00:06:12,930 --> 00:06:16,040 So that is one group of 3. 131 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,910 And that is two groups of 3. 132 00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:21,750 133 00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:26,920 So if I take 6 things and I divide them into groups of 3, I 134 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,949 will end up with 1, 2 groups. 135 00:06:29,949 --> 00:06:33,229 So that's another way to think about division. 136 00:06:33,230 --> 00:06:34,550 And this is an interesting thing. 137 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:37,400 When you think about these two relations, you'll see a 138 00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:42,120 relationship between 6 divided by 3 and 6 divided by 3. 139 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,720 Let me do that right here. 140 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,960 What is 6 divided by 2 when you think of it in this 141 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:51,739 context right here?
