Divide and Drive is the twentieth episode of the fourth series of Numberblocks. It is the 80th episode overall.

Synopsis[]

Three has opened a new go-kart track for only Threes.

Characters[]

Plot[]

Three invites the other Numberblocks to her super new go-kart track. However, only Threes can drive Three’s carts, so Numberblocks must be divided into Threes before they can drive. The first customer is Six, who needs two go-karts. Suddenly, Nine, Twelve, Sixteen, and Eighteen come in. Since Nine is first in line, Three proceeds to subtract him by Threes. Having been done slowly, Eighteen complains about how slow Three is going, which annoys Three; during which, she stretches one of her juggling balls.

Three has no idea on how to divide faster aside from subtracting repeatedly. After Twelve shows off her four columns of three, Three decides to juggle her balls, and incidentally creates a new sign- the division sign. With that done, Three divides Twelve into four Threes. Believing she's able to divide anyone with it, Sixteen has a go, only for the two of them to realise that one block will remain if she were to be divided into Threes. Four suddenly comes in, having opened his own go-kart track for Fours only right next to Three's. Sixteen eventually decides to use that go-kart track, since she is unable to fit into Three's go-karts.

By now, it's Eighteen's turn, and he's grown so impatient he decides to do division by himself. He soon figures out that division is the reverse of multiplication, and decides to keep dividing and multiplying himself. Seeing that he's going to do this all day, Three decides to get onto her own go-kart track.

Math Magic[]

  • 6 - 3 = 3 (segment only)
  • 9 - 3 = 6 (segment only)
  • 12 ÷ 3 = 4 (segment only)
  • 16 ÷ 3 = 5 R1 (hint)
  • 16 ÷ 4 = 4 (segment only)
  • 18 ÷ 3 = 6 (segment)
  • 6 × 3 = 18 (segment)

Trivia[]

  • The division sign (÷) is used for the first, and strangely the only, time in this episode.
  • This is the second time where a math equation has been interrupted, this instance Sixteen gets interrupted by Three.
  • This is the seventh episode where One is absent.
  • This is the second episode where Eighteen loses his temper.
  • 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13-15, 17, 19, and 20 are absent in this episode.
    • Fifteen is the only discovered multiple of 3 to be absent.

Errors[]

  • When Three tells Sixteen that she can't divide her into threes, the subtitles say that she could.
  • In the subtitles, in the line "16 divided into fours equals... 1, 2, 3, 4!", the subtitle "1, 2, 3, 4!" is misinterpreted as "1, 2, 2, 4!"
  • During the division Math Magic segment, when the dividend Numberblock divides, the Numberblocks they divided into somehow had their Numberlings appear back on their heads out of nowhere.
    • For reference, when in a subtraction Math Magic segment (look at The Two Tree for a good example), when the minuend (the Numberblock being subtracted) subtract into a subtrahend (the Numberblock of how much is subtracted) and difference (the Numberblocks that represent what remains), after the minuend has their Numberling float into the equation, the subtrahend and the difference don't gain their Numberlings right away. Instead those Numberlings pop into the equation. Since division can be resembled as repeated subtraction, you'd expect the Numberlings to function similarly in division Math Magic segment.
