Division is a mathematical operation that involves finding the number of times one number (the dividend) can be divided by another number (the divisor) without leaving a remainder. It is represented by the division symbol (), the fraction bar (/), or the colon (:). Checking division is an important step in ensuring that the answer is correct and that there are no errors in the calculation.
There are several ways to check division. One way is to multiply the divisor by the quotient (the answer to the division problem) and see if the product is equal to the dividend. If it is, then the division is correct. Another way to check division is to use the remainder. When you divide two numbers, there may be a remainder, which is the amount left over after the division has been performed. If the remainder is 0, then the division is exact. If the remainder is not 0, then the division is not exact and the quotient is not a whole number.
