How to Divide Triple-Digit Numbers

HOW TO DIVIDE 3-DIGIT NUMBERS BY 1-DIGIT NUMBERS:

Step 1: Divide
Step 2: Multiply
Step 3: Subtract
Step 4: Bring Down
Step 5: Repeat (and keep repeating until there are no more numbers to bring down.)

EXAMPLE: Divide 960 by 5

HOW TO DIVIDE WITH REMAINDERS:
Follow the same steps as above, with the addition of Step 6.

Step 1: Divide
Step 2: Multiply
Step 3: Subtract
Step 4: Bring Down
Step 5: Repeat (and keep repeating until there are no more numbers to bring down.)
Step 6: Take your final difference (subtraction solution) and write it above the division bracket as your remainder.

EXAMPLE: Divide 569 by 2

HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR DIVISION IS CORRECT:

Without remainders:

1. Multiply the quotient (the number above the division bracket) by the divisor (the number to the left of the division bracket).
2. If the solution to your multiplication is equal to the dividend (the number under the division bracket) then you divided correctly.
3. If your solution is different then you either divided incorrectly or multiplied incorrectly.

Example: Here’s how you would check the work from the first example problem above.

With remainders:

1. Multiply the quotient (the number above the division bracket, not including the remainder) by the divisor (the number to the left of the division bracket).
2. Add the remainder to the solution.
3. If the answer above is equal to the dividend (the number under the division bracket) then you divided correctly.
4. If your solution is different then you either divided incorrectly or multiplied incorrectly.

Example: Here’s how you would check the work from the second example problem above.
