You can put this solution on YOUR website!
315 divided by 21 is equal to 15
\n" ); document.write( "this means that 21 multiplied by 15 is equal to 315.
\n" ); document.write( "this means that 21 can be added to 0 for 15 times and the result will be 315.
\n" ); document.write( "this also means that you can subtract 21 from 315 for 15 times and the remainder will be equal to 0.
\n" ); document.write( "let's try a smaller number so you can see what i mean more easily.
\n" ); document.write( "42 divided by 21 is equal to 2.
\n" ); document.write( "this means that 2 * 21 is equal to 42
\n" ); document.write( "this means that 21 can be added to 0 for 2 times and the result will be 42.
\n" ); document.write( "it also means that 21 can be subtracted from 42 for 2 times and the remainder will be equal to 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let's do the multiplication as repeated addition first.
\n" ); document.write( "start with 0
\n" ); document.write( "add 21 to get 21
\n" ); document.write( "add 21 again to get 42\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now the division as repeated subtraction next.
\n" ); document.write( "start with 42
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 21 to get 21
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 21 again to get 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can do the same thing with 315 / 21, only it takes longer to complete the task.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "does that answer the question?
