The easy first task of understanding division, is always to get the integer division and remainder. That's where it all starts. The problem is, as soon as that has been taught, you are all of a sudden supposed to deal with the real numbers without getting any explanation why, or how they work. There are no remainders, only fractions and sh*t. But wait, all of a sudden there is more, now we have the way to divide numbers that are less than 1, or even negative. And then we have the case of dividing with 0 (zero) which is not just illegal but also undefined, etc, etc.
Division is good for inverting multiplication, and for getting remainders! Those are useful stuff I use every day in my programming. But division in the schoolbooks are just BLAH! -
@SplasheeYou just need to take the time to understand it
