Each problem uses a division fact from the 1 through 12 multiplication tables.
Every problem divides evenly, with an answer from 1 to 12, so nothing is ever left over. The largest is 144 ÷ 12 = 12.
Typical level: Grade 3 and beyondIn the U.S. Common Core, Grade 3 students fluently divide within 100, using the relationship between multiplication and division. This practice goes past 100, up to 144 ÷ 12. Curriculum timing varies.
To find 42 ÷ 6, ask: 6 times what makes 42? Because 6 × 7 = 42, the answer is 7.

6 and 7 are multiplied to make 42. Division starts from 42 and finds the other number.
When both numbers are the same, there is only one division fact: 7 × 7 = 49 gives 49 ÷ 7 = 7.
