Divide a 3-digit by a 1-digit number
Division is used when sharing a number into another number. Division is the opposite of multiplying.
What is 897 ÷ 5?
The number you are dividing by goes outside of the ‘bus stop,’ while the larger number goes inside.
We start with the hundreds.
How many 500’s are there in 800?
1 , you just put a 1 in the hundreds column and rename the remaining into the tens column.
How many were remaining?
300
Since 300 is made up of 30 tens, you just put a 3 in the one column next to the 9. We now have 39 tens.
Next are the tens.
How many 50's are there in 390?
7 , you just put a 7 in the tens column and rename the remaining into the ones column.
How many were remaining?
40
Since 40 is made up of 4 tens, you just put a 4 in the one column next to the 7. We now have 47.
Next is the ones.
How many 5's are there in 45?
5 x 9 = 45
9 is placed in the ones column and remaining are put after the remaining symbol.
How many were remaining?
2
This means, 895 ÷ 5 = 179 r2
