Properties of division

In 6/3 = 2 parts are dividened/divisor = quotient

No commutative property

Division is not commutative like Properties of multiplication and Properties of addition are; order matters
6/3 3/6

Division with zero

0/n is allowed, and gives zero
n/0 is not allowed and always gives undefined

Division with 1

When we divide a number by 1, the number will remain unchanged
n/1 = n

Tip: divide using brackets

365/5 = (300/5) + (60/5) + (5/5) = 60 + 12 + 1 = 73
