What?

35/350 (to simplify) Once is 325, twice is 300, X, X, X, we end up at 10 times is 350 divisible by 35.

I'm wondering if I'm missing something (and if I am I'll own up to it lol)

Lol I can't understand any of that. 'Once is', 'twice is' what does that mean? Once what is what? Twice what is what? You aren't even writing coherent English phrases how am I supposed to follow that?

They're referring to the number of times to subtract 35 from 350. Do it 10 times and you end up with 0, there is nothing more to divide and so 10 is the answer.
