Did you know that division is one of the four basic operations in arithmetic, along with addition, subtraction, and multiplication? It essentially asks how many times one number (the divisor) can fit into another (the dividend). In this case, when you divide 48 by 6, you are determining how many groups of 6 can be made from 48, which equals 8!

Now, in real life, you might use division in scenarios like sharing pizza slices! If you have a pizza cut into 48 slices and you want to share it equally among 6 friends, each friend gets 8 slices. It’s a delicious example of why knowing your division can come in handy!
