The importance of division
The importance of division is that you don't have to keep subtracting the same number over and over. One example is 36 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 and then count how many 6s there are. People, it's easier to divide!
Example: You have ten pieces of candy. You want to give some to four friends and have some for yourself. How many pieces does one friend get?
10/5=2
One friend gets 2 pieces of candy.
