Number three is quite interesting when it comes to the art of multiplication and division. The resulting product of multiplying any given number with three will be such that the sum of the numbers in the individual places results in multiples of 3. Conversely, a number can be divided by three only if the sum of its individual digits leads to multiple of 3. This quiz aims to hint the child about this charm by asking them to solve what is the quotient obtained when the given number is divided by three. It’s easy to solve and gives good practice on division.

Dividing numbers by three

Division is a math operation that separates a larger number (the “dividend”) into smaller groups of a specific size (the “divisor”). When we divide numbers by 3, we are trying to find out how many groups of 3 will fit into the larger number.

For example, let’s say we want to divide 12 by 3. We can think of this as asking how many groups of 3 we can make out of 12. Since 3 goes into 12 four times (3 x 4 = 12), the answer to 12 divided by 3 is 4. We write this as:

12 ÷ 3 = 4

Another way to think about division is to use the “inverse” operation of multiplication. For example, 4 x 3 = 12, so 12 ÷ 3 = 4. This is like saying “4 groups of 3 is equal to 12”.

You can also use division with remainders. For example: 13/3 = 4 R1, mean 4 times 3 is 12 & one is left

When we divide larger numbers by 3, we can use long division to help us find the answer. Long division is a method that allows us to break down a larger number into smaller parts, and divide each part separately. Here’s an example of long division with the number 45:

45 ÷ 3

15 | 45

30 |

15

When you divide 45 by 3, you get 15 as the quotient (45 ÷ 3 = 15) and 0 as remainder.

It’s also worth mentioning that when you divide a number by 3 and remainder is 0 it means the number is divisible by 3

It’s always good to practice with different numbers and check it with different methods to get the better understanding of division by 3.
