Arithmetic Grade Six

Lesson Fifty-one: Division Patterns

Study the following division problems. 


	8 / 8 = 1

        80 / 8 = 10

        800 / 8 = 100
  
        8000 / 8 = 1000
You should notice a pattern here. First of all the answer you get has the same number of zeroes as the first number in the division problem. Secondly, 8 divided by 8 still equals 1 no matter how many zeroes are involved!

Here's another example: 


       9  /  9  =  1

       90  /  9  =  10
  
       900  /  9  =  100

       9000  /  9  =  1000
Try a few for yourself!
