1. The problem is to divide 10 by 2. That means we want to see how many times 2 fits into 10. 2. Imagine you have 10 candies and you want to share them equally with 2 friends. 3. You give 1 candy to each friend until you run out. 4. Let's count how many candies each friend gets: 10 candies divided by 2 friends means each friend gets $\frac{10}{2}$ candies. 5. We can do the math: $\frac{10}{2} = 5$. 6. So, each friend gets 5 candies. 7. The answer is 5.
