Choose numbers with a particular quotient

key notes :

🔢 What is a Quotient?

When you divide one number by another, the answer is called the quotient.

Example: 12÷3=4 → 4 is the quotient.

🎯 Goal:

Find numbers that give a specific quotient when divided.

Example: Find numbers that give quotient 5.

🧮 Steps to Choose Numbers:

Know the quotient you need.

• Example: Quotient = 6

Pick a divisor (the number you divide by).

• Example: Divisor = 2

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to get the number.

• Example: 6×2=12 → Number = 12

✅ Check Your Answer:

Divide your number by the divisor to see if you get the desired quotient.

Example: 12÷2=6 ✅ Correct!

💡 Tips:

You can choose different divisors to get multiple numbers for the same quotient.

Example: Quotient = 4 → Numbers: 4×1=4, 4×2=8, 4×3=12

🎨 Fun Trick with Emoji Math:

Quotient = 🍎

Divisor = 🍌

Number = 🍎 × 🍌 = 🍉

📝 Quick Formula:

Number = Quotient × Divisor

💪 Practice Makes Perfect:

Try picking quotients 2, 3, 5, 7 and different divisors to make your own numbers.
