Division is splitting things into equal groups. When we divide by 6, we're seeing how many groups of 6 we can make from a larger number. For example, if you have 12 cookies and want to share them equally among 6 friends, you're dividing 12 by 6. The answer tells you how many cookies each friend gets.
