24 ÷ 8
Tam has twenty-four stickers to share equally among eight friends. How many stickers does each friend get?
Dividing by eight asks a question: how many groups of eight fit inside twenty-four?
Let's split the twenty-four stickers into equal groups of eight and see how many groups we get.
We can use a multiplication fact we already know: eight times three equals twenty-four.
Since eight times three makes twenty-four, we can flip that fact around: twenty-four divided by eight equals three.
Each friend gets three stickers!
