sunny1231. Both correct ? 2. both mean the same ?
No. You've got B backwards.

What do you get if you divide 6 into 18? = What do you get if you divide 18 by 6.

Now they're both correct and mean the same thing. The second one is the better choice.

Hey , friends. You are all right. I ask repeated questions a lot. But forgive me. English is not my native Language. Then some similar sentences are confusing for me. That is why I ask similar questions so many times. I do not want to make tired by my repeated questions. Then try to understand me friends.

OK. Let's see if you've got it now.

24 / 3 = 8

Write this two ways, using "divided into" and "divided by". We'll check your answers.
