Divide a 2-digit by a 1-digit number

Division is used when sharing a number into another number. Division is the opposite of multiplying.

What is 84 ÷ 4?

The number you are dividing by goes outside of the ‘bus stop,’ while the larger number goes inside.

We start with the tens.

How many 4's are there in 80?

Since 20 is made up of 2 tens, you just put a 2 in the tens column.

Next is the ones.

How many 4's are there in 4?

1

Place the 1 in the ones column where it belongs.

This means, 84 ÷ 4 = 21

You may need to rename within your division.

What is 55 ÷ 3?

The number you are dividing by goes outside of the ‘bus stop,’ while the larger number goes inside.

We start at with the tens.

How many 30's are there in 50?

 1 , you just put a 1 in the tens column and rename the remaining into the ones column.

How many were remaining?

20

Since 20 is made up of 2 tens, you just put a 2 in the one column next to the 5. We now have 25.

Next is the ones.

How many 3's are there in 25?

8 x 3 = 24

8 , you just put a 8 in the ones column and remaining are put after the remaining symbol.

How many were remaining?

1

This means, 55 ÷ 3 = 18 r1
