Division Made Easy!

By Mrs. Heins

Let’s try to divide!

Quotient (the answer)  Divisor  5 ) 267  Dividend

Does=Divide

Check and see if the divisor goes into the first number of the dividend. (does 5 go into 2--can you make 1 or more groups of 5?) If not put a 0 as a place holder.

0 5 ) 267

Now check and see if the 5 goes into the two digit number. (Does 5 go into 26. Can you make groups of five without going over 26.) If you can put the number on the top.

0

5

5 )

26

7

McDonalds=Multiply

Now multiply the number you just wrote with the divisor. Put that number under the two digit number in the dividend.

5 x 5 = 25 0 5 5 ) 267

25

Sell=Subtract

Subtract the two numbers.

05 5 ) 267 25 1

Cheese=Check

Is the difference smaller than the divisor? If no -the number you multiplied by was too small--try again. If yes, go on to the next step.

0 5 5 ) 267 25

1

Burgers=Bring down Bring down the next number and start again.

05 5 ) 267 25  1

Does=divide 05

5)267 15 is 3 -25 groups of 17 5 McDonalds=Multiply 3 x 5 = 15 053 5)267 -25 17

15

Sell=Subtract 053 5)267 -25 17 -15 2 Cheese=Check Is 2 less than 5?

Burgers=Bring down Nothing to bring down? 

Remainder

If there is still a number but nothing left to bring down--This number becomes your remainder. (left over numbers.) 0 53 5 ) 267 25 17 15 2

And the QUOTIENT is…..

53 Remainder
