The Parts of A Division Problem 2 ) Divisor Dividend Quotient
Set up the problem 826 ÷ 5 Step 1: Divide Divide 5 into the first number of the dividend. 1 5 ) 826 How many times does 5 fit into 8? Write that number directly above the first number of the dividend.
Step 2:Multiply Multiply the divisor by the first number in your quotient. 5 ) Write that number directly underneath the number in your quotient.
Step 3: Subtract Subtract the 5 from 8. 5 ) Write your answer directly under the 8.
Step 4: Bring Down 5 ) Look to the next number in the dividend. 2 Draw an arrow under the 2 and bring it down next to the 3. This is the next number you have to divide into!
Now to finish the rest of the problem, repeat steps 1 through 4 until there is no number left to bring down.
Step 1: Divide 1 5 ) 826 How many times does 5 fit into 32? Write that number directly above the second number of the dividend
Step 2: Multiply 5 ) Multiply 5 by 6. Write the answer under the 32
Step 3: Subtract 5 ) Subtract 30 from 32. Write the answer directly underneath the 30.
Step 4: Bring Down 5 ) Look to the next number in the dividend. Draw an arrow under the number and bring it down to the line you are working on. 6
One more time! Repeat steps 1 through 4 to solve the next part of the problem!
Step 1: Divide 5) How many times can 5 go into 26 without going over? 5 Write that number directly above the 6.
Step 2: Multiply 5 ) Multiply 5 by 5 and write that number directly under the 26.
Step 3: Subtract 5 ) Subtract 25 from 26. Write that number underneath the subtraction line.
Step 4: Bring Down There is no number left to bring down and 5 is not a factor of 1. This means that 1 is the remainder. Write an “r” next to the answer and put the remainder value next to it. 5 ) r 1
Now You Try! 3 ) 968 Step 1? Divide Step 2? Multiply Step 3? Subtract Step 4? Bring Down r 2 Finish with the remainder!
