Question

Why is the qoutient of a number divided by itself one? What is the exception to the rule?

ex. 32 divided by 32 =1

Answer 1

When you divide a number by one, you are separating it into one equal group, which is just the number. I can't tell you the exception though, don't remember/know it...

hope it helps

Answer 2

If you want to divide 1 item into 1 equal group, you will still have 1 item in that group.
If you want to divide 2 items into 2 equal groups, you will still have 1 item in each group.
If you want to divide 3 items into 3 equal groups, you will still have 1 item in each group.
And so on.

The exception to the rule is 0, becauase, well, it is awfully hard to divide anything into 0 equal groups, isn't it?
