Question

divide by repeated subtraction a) 25÷5​

Answer 1

Given:

25 ÷ 5

To Find:

Do the division by repeated subtraction

Solution:

Method:

Keep subtracting until we get a number smaller than the divisor. Then count the number of times we subtracted.

Find the answer through repeated subtraction:

25 - 5 = 20 ----------- [ count = 1 ]

20 - 5 = 15  ----------- [ count = 2 ]

15 -  5 = 10   ----------- [ count = 3 ]

10 -  5 = 5 ----------- [ count = 4 ]

5 - 5 = 0  ----------- [ count = 5 ]

25 ÷ 5 = number of counts

25 ÷ 5 = 5

Answer: 5
