Division

49 ÷ 7 = 7

• Count the rows, then count how many are in each row: 7 rows of 7 makes 7 × 7 = 49.
• As repeated addition that is 7 added 7 times: 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + … = 49.
• The rows and columns match, so turning this array on its side leaves it unchanged: 7 × 7 = 49 either way.
• That also makes 49 a square number — 7² = 49 — and its square root is 7, because 49 ÷ 7 = 7.
