Best Answer

When you have finished dividing, the divisor (the number you divided BY) and the

quotient (the answer you got) together, are both of those numbers, either way.

Either of them can be the number of equal groups, and then the other one is the

number in each group.

Is finding twenty percent of a number the same as dividing the number by 4?

No. By definition, 20% is equal to 0.2. Multiplying a number by 0.2 is not equal to dividing it by four. Finding 25% of a number is equal to dividing that number by 4. Finding 20% of a number is equal to dividing that number by 5.


How do you get one tenth?

If you want to find one tenth of a number, divide it by 10. For example, one tenth of 50 is 5. I teach my students about fraction this way. When you consider one tenth of something, 1/10, think of the denominator of the fraction as the number of equal groups you have to divide a particular number into. Then think of the numerator of the fraction as the number of those equal groups you are counting up. Another example: to find 3/10 of 50, divide 50 into ten equal groups of 5 each. Then count three of them: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15. 3/10 of 50 is 15.
