Division Table 1 to 5
A division table provides the outcomes of dividing two numbers. It builds the foundation for solving intricate mathematical problems from fractions to algebra.
Division Chart of Division Tables 1 to 5
Focusing on the division table for 1-5, the following chart can be followed. The first row of the chart represents the divisor, while the first column represents the dividend. Each block denotes the outcomes of divisibility among the two (i.e., quotient).
Description of Division Table Chart of Division Tables 1 to 5
The table chart shows the division between each and every number that occurs between the range of 1–5.
For example, if you need to know the division between 4 and 2, follow the chart. Since the column represents the dividend, we can find 4 in column 4 and similarly in row 2, which shows the divisor. Tracing column 4 and row 2, we can see the value 2, which is the result of the division between 4 and 2, also the quotient.
Similarly, division between any two numbers in the range 1–5 can be easily found with the help of the division chart table.
Tips and Tricks for Division Table of 1 to 5
Knowing every multiplication for performing division can be a bit hectic, especially if the numbers are larger. To make this division easy, here are some tips:
- Know the inverse relation between division and multiplication. If 3×2 gives 6, then 6/2 gives 3 and 6/3 gives 2.
- To check divisibility by 2, check the last digit: If it's even, then the number is divisible; if odd, it’s not. If a number is not divisible by 2, that is odd, dividing it by 2 will always leave a remainder of 1.
- For divisibility by 3, take the sum of each digit and check if it is divisible by 3. If yes, then the whole number is divisible by 3; if not, then it is not divisible.
- Take into account that every number divided by 1 gives the number itself, and every number divided by itself gives 1.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Division Tables 1 to 5
To help you build a strong foundation in Division Tables 1 to 5, here are some common mistakes that students make and their solutions:
Mistake 1
Misapplying the inverse relation between multiplication and division
Know that if “a ÷ b” gives “c”, then according to the inverse relation between multiplication and division, “b × c” gives “a”, not “a × c” = “b”. E.g., 8 ÷ 4 = 2, which implies 4 × 2 = 8.
Mistake 2
Dividing any number by 0
Division by 0 is undefined because a quantity cannot be divided into zero groups.
Mistake 3
Not mentioning the value of the remainder while giving the answer
The remainder is as important as the quotient in a division. Don't forget to mention it in the final answer.
Mistake 4
Confused between the terms dividend and divisor and performed wrong division
If ‘b’ is the dividend and ‘d’ is the divisor, then we calculate b ÷ d, not the other way around.
Mistake 5
Mixing the rules of dividing a number by 1 and by itself
Students often get confused and reverse the rules of dividing a number by 1 and by itself. Dividing any number by 1 gives the number itself, while Dividing a number by itself gives 1.
Division Tables 1 to 5 Examples
Problem 1
What does 10 ÷ 5 give?
2
Explanation
Using the division chart provided above, from column 10 and row 5, we find 10÷5, which is 2.
Problem 2
12÷4 gives 3. Write this division in terms of multiplication.
12 = 4×3
Explanation
As we have understood, multiplication and division are inverse relations. Using that, we can write 12 as a multiplication of 4 and 3, i.e., 12 = 4×3.
Problem 3
Is 15 divisible by 5?
Yes
Explanation
15 has 5 as its last digit, hence it is divisible by 5.
Problem 4
What is the remainder of the following division 14 ÷ 3 if the answer is represented in the whole number?
2
Explanation
Since 14 is not a multiple of 3, dividing 14 by 3 gives a quotient of 4 and a remainder of 2. This can also be checked in the division chart at column 14 and row 3.
Problem 5
If 10/x is 2, then find the value of x.
5
Explanation
Given 10/x = 2 ⇒ 2 × x = 10 ⇒ x = 10/2 ⇒ x = 5.

Important Glossaries for Division Table of 1 to 5
- Quotient: The result of a division is called a quotient. For example, in 8÷4=2, the quotient is 2.
- Division: The process of separating a number into smaller yet identical groups is called division.
- Dividend: The number being divided is referred to as the dividend. In 8÷4=2, the dividend is 8.
- Remainder: The remaining number after the division takes place is known as the remainder. For example, in 9÷4, the quotient is 2 (2 × 4 = 8) and the remainder is 1.
- Inverse Relation: Refers to the relationship between multiplication and division where one operation can reverse the effect of the other, as in 8 ÷ 4 = 2 and 2 × 4 = 8.
