If multiplication is repeated addition, then division is repeated subtraction. ... Integral multiplication of a multiplicand by a POSITIVE multiplier, can be calculated by the repeated ADDITION of the multiplicand from zero, as many times as the multiplier says.

Is division A repeated multiplication?

Repeated subtraction is a method of subtracting the equal number of items from a larger group. It is also known as division. If the same number is repeatedly subtracted from another larger number until the remainder is zero or a number smaller than the number being subtracted, we can write that in the form of division.

What is an example of repeated addition?

For example: a Year 3 child who does not know their 6x table yet, may find it easier to work out 4 x 6 by writing 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 and then slowly adding up the 4 sixes. It may also be helpful with larger numbers, such as 5 x 40.
