Dividing by 11
The question
121 ÷ 11
121÷11
11×?=121
11×11=121
121÷11=11
11×11=121
- 121 ÷ 11 means sharing 121 out equally between 11. Deal them round one at a time until they run out; the answer is how many end up in one share.
- Dealing out 121 one at a time would take a while. Instead ask: 11 times what makes 121?
- 11 × 11 = 121. That is the one, so 121 ÷ 11 = 11.
- Check: 11 × 11 = 121.
