    Study Notes

    Division

    Remainder Theorem

    • The Remainder Theorem states that when a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x - a), the remainder is f(a).
    • This theorem can be used to find the remainder of a polynomial division without actually performing the division.
    • It is often used to test if a polynomial has a certain root or factor.

    Word Problems

    • Division word problems often involve sharing, grouping, or measuring.
    • Examples of division word problems:
      • Sharing: "If 12 cookies are shared equally among 4 friends, how many cookies will each friend get?"
      • Grouping: "If 18 pencils are placed in boxes of 3, how many boxes can be filled?"
      • Measuring: "If 24 ounces of juice are poured into 4-ounce cups, how many cups can be filled?"
    • To solve division word problems, identify the total amount, the number of groups, and the number of items per group.

    Divisibility Rules

    • Divisibility rules are used to determine if a number is divisible by another number without performing the actual division.
    • Common divisibility rules:
      • Divisible by 2: last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8)
      • Divisible by 3: sum of digits is divisible by 3
      • Divisible by 4: last two digits form a number divisible by 4
      • Divisible by 5: last digit is 0 or 5
      • Divisible by 6: divisible by both 2 and 3
      • Divisible by 9: sum of digits is divisible by 9
      • Divisible by 10: last digit is 0
    • These rules can be used to quickly determine if a number is divisible by another number.

    Division

    Remainder Theorem

    • States that when a polynomial f(x) is divided by (x - a), the remainder is f(a)
    • Allows finding the remainder of a polynomial division without performing the actual division
    • Often used to test if a polynomial has a certain root or factor

    Word Problems

    • Involve sharing, grouping, or measuring
    • Examples:
      • Sharing: equal distribution among groups
      • Grouping: placing items into groups of a certain size
      • Measuring: filling containers of a certain capacity
    • To solve, identify the total amount, number of groups, and number of items per group

    Divisibility Rules

    • Used to determine if a number is divisible by another without performing the actual division
    • Common rules:
      • Divisible by 2: even last digit (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8)
      • Divisible by 3: sum of digits is divisible by 3
      • Divisible by 4: last two digits form a number divisible by 4
      • Divisible by 5: last digit is 0 or 5
      • Divisible by 6: divisible by both 2 and 3
      • Divisible by 9: sum of digits is divisible by 9
      • Divisible by 10: last digit is 0
    • Allow quick determination of divisibility

    Long Division

    • A step-by-step procedure to divide a large number (dividend) by a smaller number (divisor)
    • Dividend and divisor are written, and the first digit of the dividend is divided by the divisor
    • The result is written below, and the divisor is multiplied by the result and subtracted from the dividend
    • The next digit of the dividend is brought down, and steps 2-3 are repeated
    • The process continues until the dividend is reduced to zero

    Word Problems

    • Division word problems involve sharing, grouping, or measuring quantities
    • Examples include sharing cookies among friends, grouping books into sets, and measuring sugar for a recipe
    • These problems require dividing a quantity into equal parts or groups

    Division With Decimals

    • Division with decimals follows the same procedure as whole number division
    • The only difference is the presence of decimal points, which must be aligned
    • Examples include dividing 4.5 by 1.5 and 12.75 by 3.25

    Real-world Applications

    • Measuring ingredients for cooking or baking
    • Sharing resources or materials among a group
    • Calculating rates or ratios, such as miles per hour or cost per unit
    • Solving problems involving area or volume

    Remainders

    • The remainder is the amount left over after dividing one number by another
    • Examples include 17 ÷ 5 with a remainder of 2 and 23 ÷ 4 with a remainder of 3
    • Remainders are useful in real-world applications, such as finding leftover items or calculating material needed
