1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:04,092
We've got 24 triangle
things right over here.

2
00:00:04,092 --> 00:00:05,550
And what I want to
do in this video

3
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:09,130
is to divide it into
different numbers of groups.

4
00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:10,600
So the first thing
I want to do is

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:16,760
I want to divide this 24
triangle things into 3 groups

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,020
and think about how many
do I end up per group.

7
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:21,660
So let's try that out.

8
00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:24,370
So I'm going to divide
it into 3 equal groups.

9
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:28,450
So that is one equal
group right over there.

10
00:00:28,450 --> 00:00:32,470
Then I have another equal
group right over here.

11
00:00:32,470 --> 00:00:36,340
And then I have a third
equal group right over here.

12
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:42,280
So if I divide 24 into 3 equal
groups-- 1, 2, 3-- how many

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,890
are going to be in each group?

14
00:00:43,890 --> 00:00:44,970
Well, we can count that.

15
00:00:44,970 --> 00:00:52,500
We have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8 in each group.

16
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:59,239
So we could say that 24
divided by 3 is equal to 8.

17
00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:00,780
Now, you might say,
hey, this is very

18
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:02,488
similar to what we
saw in multiplication.

19
00:01:02,488 --> 00:01:06,830
In multiplication, we said
if we have 3 groups of 8,

20
00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:10,720
we could view that as
3 times 8 and get 24.

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,035
And you are exactly right.

22
00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:18,940
Let me do those same colors--
we could also write that 3

23
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:25,620
times 8-- so if I
have 3 groups of 8,

24
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:32,040
that that is going
to be equal to 24.

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,580
So when we started in this
video, we had 24 things.

26
00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:37,440
We want to divide it
into 3 equal groups.

27
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,780
We got 8 in each group, or you
could say 3 equal groups of 8

28
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:45,160
is equal to 24.

29
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,620
But there's even other ways
of thinking about this.

30
00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:49,840
So let me clear this
up a little bit.

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,390
So let me clear that.

32
00:01:54,450 --> 00:01:59,460
So in the first example, I
divided 24 into 3 equal groups.

33
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:02,730
But you could also
view 24 divided by 3

34
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:05,500
as dividing 24 into groups of 3.

35
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:07,890
So let's think about
what that looks like.

36
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:10,680
So if we divide it
into groups of 3,

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,270
then, for example,
this is a group of 3.

38
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:17,860
That is a group of 3.

39
00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:19,494
This is a group of 3.

40
00:02:19,494 --> 00:02:20,910
You might see where
this is going.

41
00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:23,050
That's a group of 3.

42
00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:25,430
That is another group of 3.

43
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:27,570
And we're going to think
about how many groups of 3

44
00:02:27,570 --> 00:02:29,190
we're actually going to get.

45
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:32,780
So this is another group of 3.

46
00:02:32,780 --> 00:02:35,750
And that's another group of 3.

47
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:38,490
So how many groups
of 3 did we get?

48
00:02:38,490 --> 00:02:45,120
Let's see, we have 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8 groups of 3.

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,580
So another way of
viewing 24 divided by 3

50
00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:54,450
is divide 24 into groups of 3.

51
00:02:54,450 --> 00:02:57,120
And then you will
have 8 groups of 3.

52
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,620
And one way of
thinking about this--

53
00:02:58,620 --> 00:03:01,900
if you want to express
the same thing in terms

54
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:03,550
of multiplication--
is if you have

55
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:13,070
8 groups of 3, that is also
going to be equal to 24.

56
00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:18,140
Whether you have 3 groups
of 8 or 8 groups of 3,

57
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:21,820
either way, you're
going to have 24.

58
00:03:21,820 --> 00:03:25,830
Now, let's make things
more interesting.

59
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:30,650
What I want you to think about
is, based on what we just saw,

60
00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:37,640
what is 24 divided by 12?

61
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,330
And I encourage you
to pause the video,

62
00:03:39,330 --> 00:03:42,050
draw out 24 triangles
like this, and try

63
00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:46,460
to figure out what
24 divided by 12 is.

64
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:48,170
Well, I assume you've
paused the video.

65
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:51,260
And there's two ways to
think about 24 divided by 12.

66
00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:55,860
You could say, well, let's
divide 24 into groups of 12

67
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:57,720
and think about how
many groups we have.

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:58,660
So we could do that.

69
00:03:58,660 --> 00:03:59,201
So let's see.

70
00:03:59,201 --> 00:04:04,530
This is one group of
12 right over here.

71
00:04:04,530 --> 00:04:10,000
That's one group of 12, and then
here is another group of 12.

72
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,080
So how many groups
of 12 do we have?

73
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,780
Well, we have 2 groups of 12.

74
00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:19,120
So we could say 24
divided by 12 is 2.

75
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,010
But another just as reasonable
way of doing this is you

76
00:04:23,010 --> 00:04:27,190
could have said,
well, let me divide 24

77
00:04:27,190 --> 00:04:30,460
into 12 groups instead
of groups of 12.

78
00:04:30,460 --> 00:04:32,240
So if I want to divide
it into 12 groups,

79
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,530
12 equal groups--
well, let's see.

80
00:04:34,530 --> 00:04:38,749
This is 1 equal group,
2 equal groups--

81
00:04:38,749 --> 00:04:40,040
actually let me do it this way.

82
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:54,600
Well, let me do this-- 2 equal
groups, 3 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

83
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,840
11, 12.

84
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:59,910
So once again, if you say, oh,
I'm going to divide 24 into 12

85
00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:02,480
equal groups, how many do
you have in each group?

86
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,620
Well, you have 2.

87
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:05,100
So once again, 24
could be viewed

88
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,585
as 24 divided into
12 equal groups.

89
00:05:07,585 --> 00:05:09,210
And how many do you
have in each group?

90
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:12,860
Or 24 divided into groups of
12, and how many groups would

91
00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:13,420
you have?

92
00:05:13,420 --> 00:05:16,020
And that's what we saw
in the last example.

93
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:18,940
So now, let's make things
even more interesting.

94
00:05:18,940 --> 00:05:21,840
What I want you to think
about-- a couple of things.

95
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:31,100
I want you think about
what 24 divided by 6 is.

96
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:36,215
And I also want you to figure
out what 24 divided by--

97
00:05:36,215 --> 00:05:41,070
let me use that
same color-- 4 is.

98
00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:43,450
And once again, I encourage
you to pause the video,

99
00:05:43,450 --> 00:05:45,170
draw these triangles,
and figure it out.

100
00:05:45,170 --> 00:05:49,210
What is 24 divided by
6 and 24 divided by 4?

101
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:51,360
So let's tackle 24
divided by 6 first.

102
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:59,239
And let's try to divide
24 into 6 equal groups.

103
00:05:59,239 --> 00:05:59,780
So let's see.

104
00:05:59,780 --> 00:06:05,310
This could be 1 equal group,
2 equal groups-- in fact,

105
00:06:05,310 --> 00:06:09,490
each group here is a group of 4.

106
00:06:09,490 --> 00:06:11,300
And we have 6 rows.

107
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:19,190
So 3 equal groups, 4, 5, and 6.

108
00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:23,150
And so if you divide
24 into 6 equal groups,

109
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:24,690
how many do you
have in each group?

110
00:06:24,690 --> 00:06:27,780
Well, it's pretty
clear you have 4.

111
00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:29,406
You have 4 In each group.

112
00:06:29,406 --> 00:06:30,780
Another way we
could have thought

113
00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:39,710
about that is we
could have said,

114
00:06:39,710 --> 00:06:43,220
let me divide 24
into groups of 6.

115
00:06:43,220 --> 00:06:45,860
So if you divided
24 into groups of 6,

116
00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:49,000
you could have
viewed it like this.

117
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,490
So that's 1 group
of 6 right there.

118
00:06:53,490 --> 00:06:57,090
That's another group
of 6 right over here.

119
00:06:57,090 --> 00:06:58,475
That's another group of 6.

120
00:06:58,475 --> 00:07:01,480
And I think you see how
many groups of 6 we have.

121
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,056
How many groups of 6 do we have?

122
00:07:03,056 --> 00:07:04,484
We have 4.

123
00:07:04,484 --> 00:07:10,120
We have 4 groups of 6.

124
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,370
Well, now let's think about
what 24 divided by 4 is.

125
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:18,400
Well, if I view 24 divided by
4 as taking 24 and dividing it

126
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,780
into 4 equal groups,
I've just drawn that.

127
00:07:20,780 --> 00:07:23,965
I have 4 equal groups, and
in each group I have 6.

128
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:30,453
So notice 24 divided by 6 is 4.

129
00:07:30,453 --> 00:07:33,900
24 divided by 4 is 6.

130
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:38,100
And that's because I could
view this as 4 groups of 6

131
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:44,140
or say that 4 times
6 is equal to 24.

132
00:07:47,140 --> 00:07:50,890
Or you could just as
equivalently say that 6 times 4

133
00:07:50,890 --> 00:07:52,570
is 24.

134
00:07:52,570 --> 00:08:00,198
You could equivalently say
that 6 times 4 is equal to 24.
