2. FIRST STEP: MSBD MOST STUDENTS BRING DINOSAURS M MULITPLY S SUBTRACT
B BRING DOWN
D DIVIDE
BY FOLLOWING THESE STEPS
DIVISION SHOULD BE AS
EASY AS ABC..123…

3. MSBD
STEP 1: MULTIPLY 5
155
ASK YOURSELF… What # multiplied by 5 gives you 15? 03 (don’t forget the zero) Now multiply 5 x 3 and place the answer below the 15. Onto Step 2…
0 3 5
155

4. STEP 2: SUBTRACT
MSBD
0 3
Once you have place your answer to (5x3=15) under the 15, the next step is to add the subtraction sign.
Subtract the problem 15-15
Your answer is 0 5
155
-15

5. STEP 3: BRING DOWN
MSBD
0 3
Next step in our procedure is to BRING DOWN the next number. The next number would be the last 5 in 155.
Drop the number (as shown) right next to the 0.
Move to the next step… 5
155
-15
0 5

6. STEP 4: DIVIDE
MSBD 5
155
The next step after you have brought the 5 down next the zero, you must divide.
Ask yourself… “How many times does 5 go into 5?” Your answer is one time.
You would put your answer (1) on the top line
-15
0 5

7. Am I Finished??? 5
155
You may think “O I’m all done now, YEAH!!” but you are not done until you can not complete the MSBD process.
So you would continue on by first
Multiplying 5x1=5
Subtract 5-5
Bring Down ??? STOP
There is nothing to Bring Down!!!
You are not finished because you could not go any further in our MSBD process
-15
0 5
-05

8. Try a few on your own Remember MSBD 1) 280 ÷ 7 2) 186 ÷ 6 3) 180 ÷ 12
Multiply
Subtract
Bring Down
Divide
1) 280 ÷ 7
2) 186 ÷ 6
3) 180 ÷ 12
If you get lost or stuck, click on the problem and it will take you to the answer. But remember try before you give up and click the answer.

9. 280 7 -28 00 - 0 Problem 1 280 ÷ 7 0 4 0 Think 7 x ? = 28 answer is 04
280
-28 00
- 0
Think 7 x ? = 28
answer is 04
Subtract = 0
Bring Down the 0
Divide 7 ÷ 0 = 0
Repeat procedure
5) 7x 0 = 0
6) 0-0= 0
7) STOP!!! There is nothing to bring down so you are finished 7

10. 186 6 -18 06 - 6 Problem 2 186 ÷ 6 0 3 1 Think 6 x ? = 18 answer is 03
186
-18 06
- 6
Think 6 x ? = 18
answer is 03
Subtract = 0
Bring Down the 6
Divide 6 ÷ 6 = 1
Repeat procedure
5) 6x 1 = 6
6) 6-6= 0
7) STOP!!! There is nothing to bring down so you are finished 6

11. Problem ÷ 12
0 1 5
Think 12 x ? = 18
List the multiples
12 x 1= 12
12 x2= 24
So 12 can go into 18 at least 1 time.
So your answer will be 01
Subtract 18-12=06
Bring Down the 0
Divide 60 ÷ 12 = 5
Repeat procedure
5) 12x5=60
6) 60-60=0
7) STOP!!! There is nothing to bring down so you are finished 12
180
-12
060
-60
