Question

How is division like subtraction

Answer 1

Division is basically repeated subtraction.

For example, if you ask "what is 6 divided 2?", you're asking "how many times do I need to subtract 2 from 6 until I get to 0?"

Let's see it in action

6/2

6 - 2 - 2 - 2 = 0

As you can see, you subtract 2 from 6 three times, so 6 divided by 2 is 3.

Answer 2

both of those mark the answer or number smaller
