An array model of division is a method in which a number is divided into equal columns or rows. It helps students understand that division is the inverse of multiplication.   Let’s consider an example, \\(2\ imes~5~=~10\\).   \\(10~\\div~5~=~2\\)   Or   \\(10~\\div~2~=~5\\)   This means that 10 items can be divided into 5 rows or columns of 2 items each, or 2 rows or columns of 5 items each.
