The Division Sentence Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient This is how we write a division problem. The big number usually comes first. Dividing by 1 Any Number ÷ 1 = That Same Number When you make only 1 group, all the items go in that group. So 5 ÷ 1 = 5. Dividing a Number by Itself Any Number ÷ That Same Number = 1 If you have 4 cats and 4 bowls, each cat gets 1 bowl. So 4 ÷ 4 = 1. 🐈
