So there are two different types of division.
00:06
Division can be partative and it can also be quotative.
00:10
So basically, partative division involves division as sharing.
00:15
It's sharing a quantity between a given number of equal size groups, whereas quotative division is dividing a number of groups or a number of groups into a certain amount.
00:27
So let's take a look at this word problem that would illustrate partitive division.

Michelle has 18 candy bars that she's putting in six bags.
00:36
Each bag will have the same number of candy bars.
00:39
How many candy bars will go in each bag? so in essence here, we're taking our 18 candy bars that i represented as circles, and we're putting them into six different bags.
00:50
So i'm going to make six different circles.
00:54
And i'm going to go ahead and distribute those 18 candy bars.
00:57
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 17, 18.
01:09
So how many candy bars will go in each bag? there'll be three bars in each bag.
01:16
So the division equation we would use there is 18 divided by six, which would give us three.
01:22
So down here, same thing.

Robert has 18 flowers, but this time he wants to put them into vases with six flowers in each vase...
