When you divide b by 10, you are dividing b into smaller equal parts by 10. On the other hand, when you divide b into 10, you are dividing b into a larger part by 10. ;

The expression "b divided by 10" refers to 10 b ​ , which calculates how much b is when split into 10 parts. Conversely, "b divided into 10" is expressed as b 10 ​ , which shows how many times b fits into 10. These two operations are inverse of each other.
