what are division rules as it applies to the following
0/71=
23/23=
29/1=
This is my daughter's 4th grade math and they are asking us to explain the didvision rules that are used to solve these problems. However they have not provided us with the division rules or their terms and definitions.
0/71=
23/23=
29/1=
Zero divided by any number is 0. You can't divide nothing.
A number divided by itself is 1.
A number divided by 1 is that number.
Right. So are the rules used that simple? I thought there were complicated terms. We just had the top half of our sheet dealing with Multiplication properties, commutative property etc. Is it the "rule of zero" or should she right out the rule? Are there special terms? Thanks so very much! I am getting so frustrated and confused! It has been 23 years since I was in 4th grade. I was an English Lit major, that probably does not help either. LOL!
LOL! I was a journalism major -- and don't remember much math either. Perhaps a math tutor will add to my answer.
Stay tuned . . .
0/71 would be the zero property.
0/71 woudl be the zero property
welcome
To solve these division problems, let me explain the division rules that are commonly used.
1. Division by Zero: Division by zero (0) is not defined in mathematics. It is an undefined operation since it results in an undefined value. This means that the expression 0/71 is undefined and does not have a meaningful answer.
2. Division of a Number by Itself: When you divide a number by itself, the result is always 1. Therefore, the expression 23/23 equals 1. Any number divided by itself will always result in 1.
3. Division by One: When you divide any number by 1, the result is always the same number. Therefore, the expression 29/1 equals 29. Any number divided by 1 will always result in the same number.
In summary:
- Division by zero is undefined (0/71).
- Division of a number by itself equals 1 (23/23).
- Division by one gives you the same number (29/1).
These are some basic division rules that are fundamental to understanding division in mathematics.
