Special Cases
Special Cases : Given below are three special cases of division. Any number is divided by 1(the quotient equals the dividend), gives the answer the same as the dividend. For examples: 10 ÷ 1 = 10 A number cannot be divided by 0 and the result is thus undefined. Example: 60 ÷ 0 = undefined…

Division and Remainders
Division and Remainders : Sometimes when dividing there is something left over. It is called the remainder. Example: There are 7 bones to share with 2 pups. But 7 cannot be divided exactly into 2 groups,so each pup gets 3 bones,and there is 1 left over: We say: “7 divided by 2 equals 3 with a remainder of 1“ And we write: 7 ÷…

Subtraction of Fractions
Subtraction of Fractions : Subtraction of fractions is an arithmetic operation to be performed where fractions are involved in the expression. To subtract two like fractions we have to subtract their numerators, while to subtract two unlike fractions, we have to first convert them into like fractions by taking the LCM of the denominators. We…
