Division means splitting a total into equal groups. It is the opposite of multiplication.
Explanation
When you divide, you share things equally. If you have 12 stickers and want to share them among 3 friends, each friend gets 4 stickers. You write 12 ÷ 3 = 4. The ÷ sign means 'divided by.' Division answers the question: how many are in each group, or how many groups can I make?
