What is this problem asking us? If we divided 682 into 4 groups of equal size, how many would be in each group?

What is this problem asking us?

If we divided 682 into 4 groups of equal size, how

many would be in each group?

Real Life Example

If Grandma has 682 dollars that she wants to share it equally with

four of her grandchildren, how much will each grandchild receive?

How do we solve it?

4 is our divisor

Look at the first number and ask how many 4’s are in 6

Recall your multiplication facts to find the one that will give an answer near 6.

There is one four in six.

divisor

4 x 1 = 4

Place the 1 above the division bar

Subtract 4 from 6

Bring down the next digit in the dividend

Now ask how many 4s are in 28

There are no 4’s in 2.

4 x 0 = 0

Place the 0 above the division bar

Subtract 0 from 2

There are no more numbers in the dividend to bring down.

There are two left over.

remainder

The answer to the problem is called the QUOTIENT.

The QUOTIENT is

170 remainder 2

What is this problem asking us?

If we divided 8,437 into 6 groups of equal size, how

many would be in each group?

Real Life Example

Can you think of a word problem that can be expressed as the

division problem written above?

How do we solve it?

6 is our divisor

Look at the first number and ask how many 6’s are in 8

There is one, so we multiply and begin to work through the steps to solve the problem.

divisor

6 x 1 = 6

Place the 1 above the division bar

Subtract 6 from 8

Bring down the next digit in the dividend

Now ask how many 6’s are in 24

6 x 4 = 24

Place the 4 above the division bar

Subtract 24 from 24

Bring down the next digit in the dividend

Now ask how many 6’s are in 3

6 x 0 = 0

Place the 0 above the division bar

Subtract 0 from 3

Bring down the next digit in the dividend

Now ask how many 6’s are in 37

6 x 6 = 36

Place the 6 above the division bar

Subtract 36 from 37

There are no more numbers to bring down

The remainder is 1, which means there is one left over
