Abstract
Division of whole numbers is a relatively complicated computational process. It is complicated because it involves each of the other processes: addition, multiplication, and subtraction, and also includes principles unique to division alone. Thorough understanding of division is dependent upon knowledge and understanding of the interrelationships between the four processes—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Following are the understandings commonly made explicit.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
