Using times tables

  • We know from our 9 times tables that 7 x 9 = 63.
    • So that means 63 ÷ 7 = 9.
    • That also means 63 ÷ 9 = 7.
  • The division facts match the multiplication fact that we used.

Multiplying ten times bigger

  • Next, we can look at the number being ten times bigger.
  • If I know 7 x 9 = 63 then I know:
    • 70 x 9 = 630
    • 7 x 90 = 630
    • 70 x 90 = 6,300

Dividing ten times bigger

  • Because we know how to multiply when the numbers ten or a hundred times bigger, we also know how to divide too!
    • 630 ÷ 9 = 70
    • 630 ÷ 7 = 90
    • 630 ÷ 90 = 7
    • 630 ÷ 70 = 9
