So to make equal groups just create the number of groups (divisor, in this case: 4) and insert into that the number of the quotient( in this case: 7)

1) Let's make equal groups for that division since 7 added 4 times is equal to 28:

2) Since 7 x 4 is the same as adding 7 four times, we have above four groups with seven balls that added up yields 28, in each group we have 7 balls.

3) So to make equal groups just create the number of groups (divisor) and insert into that the number of the quotient. Note that this is valid just for exact divisions.
