Division is splitting a total amount into equal groups. When we divide by 9, we are finding how many equal groups of 9 we can make, or how many are in each group if we make 9 equal groups.
Division is the inverse, or opposite, operation of multiplication. Knowing your multiplication facts for 9 will help you divide by 9 quickly.
These are the basic division facts you should know when the divisor is 9, with quotients up to 12. The quotient is the answer to a division problem.
Notice the pattern: the dividend (the number being divided) increases by 9 each time, and the quotient increases by 1. This pattern can help you memorize the facts.
Since multiplication and division are related, you can think of a division fact as a missing-factor multiplication problem. To solve 63 ÷ 9, ask yourself: "9 times what number equals 63?"
This strategy is very helpful for checking your work. If you know the multiplication fact, you already know the related division fact.
We use division by 9 to solve everyday problems that involve sharing, grouping, or organizing items into equal sets of 9.
Always read the word problem carefully to determine what is being divided (the total) and what you are dividing by (the size or number of groups). The quotient is your answer.
