Division Facts (Inverse of Times Tables)SEAG Practice Questions

Use times tables knowledge to find division answers quickly.

Where your child meets this in real life: Sharing equally, calculating unit prices, or solving rate problems

What your child needs to know

SEAGReady breaks division facts (inverse of times tables) into 3 steps, taught in order so each skill builds on the last.

  1. 1

    Division as Inverse

    Use multiplication facts to find division answers with easier tables (2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 10s)

  2. 2

    Both Division Facts

    Recognise that one multiplication fact gives two division facts and identify dividend vs divisor

  3. 3

    Harder Division Facts

    Recall all division facts including the most challenging (7s, 8s, 9s)

Try the lesson: Division as Inverse

This is the exact interactive worked example your child sees in SEAGReady. Step through it and watch the method build up.

Emily has 15 stickers to share equally among 3 friends.

How many stickers does each friend get?

15 ÷ 3 = ?

Think of the multiplication
1

Ask: what times 3 equals 15?

Emily has 15 stickers to share equally among 3 friends.

How many stickers does each friend get?

  1. 1

    Think of the multiplication

    • Ask: what times 3 equals 15?
    • Recall: 3 × 5 = 153 × 5 = 15
  2. 2

    Use the inverse

    • Division undoes multiplication
    • So 15 ÷ 3 = 515 ÷ 3 = 5

Each friend gets 5 stickers.

The key insight: Every division question is really asking: what times this equals that?

Common mix-up: 15 ÷ 3 = 45 (multiplying instead of dividing). Division finds how many groups, not the total. Think: 3 × ? = 15.

Mistakes to watch for

These are the misconceptions we see most often in division facts (inverse of times tables), including the ones our practice questions are specifically designed to catch.

  • Not seeing link to multiplication
  • Confusing dividend and divisor
  • Difficulty with facts involving 7, 8, 9
