Multiples of 1/2


1/2: Less than 1, cannot be reduced or modified

2/2: Equal to 1

3/2: Greater than 1, can be modified, 3/2 = (2+1)/2 = (2/2) + (1/2) = 1 and 1/2

4/2: Greater than 1, can be modified, 4/2 = (2*2)/2 = 2

5/2: Greater than 1, can be modified, 5/2 = (4+1)/2 = (4/2) + (1/2) = 2 and 1/2

6/2: Greater than 1, can be modified, 6/2 = (2*3)/2 = 3

7/2: Greater than 1, can be modified, 7/2 = (6+1)/2 = (6/2) + (1/2) = 3 and 1/2

8/2: Greater than 1, can be modified, 8/2 = (2*4)/2 = 4

9/2: Greater than 1, can be modified, 9/2 = (8+1)/2 = (8/2) + (1/2) = 4 and 1/2

10/2: Greater than 1, can be modified, 10/2 = (2*5)/2 = 5

INTERPRETATION OF DIVISION Is it possible to give 72 marbles to 1 person? Yes 72 is exactly divisible by 1. 1 divides 72 exactly. 1 is a factor of 72. The person gets 72 marbles. Nothing remains. i.e., REMAINDER=0 72/1=72 It means, 72 marbles can be given to 72 people and each will get 1. 72 is also a factor of 72. 72/72=1, REMAINDER=0 1 and 72 are factors of 72. [72/1=72 and 72/72=1; this is true for every number; 45/1=45 and 45/45=1; 104/1=104 and 104/104=1; therefore, 1 is a factor of every number; every number is a factor of itself.] Is it possible to share 72 marbles between 2 friends equally? Yes 72 is exactly divisible by 2. (36 times) 2 divides 72 exactly. (36 times) 2 is a factor of 72. 72/2=36, remainder=0 72 is DIVIDEND, 2 is DIVISOR, 36 is QUOTIENT. (72 is numerator, 2 is denominator) The other situation is, 72/36=2, remainder=0 72 marbles, shared equally among 36 people, each will get 2 marbles. 36 is a factor of 72. 2 and 36 are factors of 72. Is it possible to share 72 m...
