2. So if you multiply by some amount then divide by the same amount, you’re
back where you started.
E.G.
46x3=138, 138/3= 46 that’s all there is to it.
3. You’ve a choice of two methods for this
short division or long division. Cool
names don’t you think? They’re pretty
much the same, but one needs a bit
more ink. You don’t need to remember
both methods, just choose the one
which works best for you and learn it!
5. 1) Divide into the big number, one digit at a time
starting from the LEFT (it’s different from
adding, subtracting and multiplying.)
2) Put the result of each division on the top
3) If the small number won’t go into the big
number exactly, carry the remainder across(to
the next digit on the right). If it won’t go at all
put a 0 on top and carry the whole digit.
6. 8 8 6 4
1
8 goes into 8 once
8 6 4
1 0
8
8 into 6 won’t go,
so carry 6
6
8 8 6 4
1 0 8
6
8 into 64 goes 8
times exactly.So 108 is the answer. Simple,
yes? Let’s try another one.
7. 7 3 9 2
3
0
7 into 3 doesn’t go,
so carry 3.
7
0 5
3 9 2
3 4
7 into 39 goes 5
times with left
over. Carry the 4.
7
0 5 6
3 9 2
3 4 7 into 42 goes 6 times
exactly. Put a 6 at the top
and we’re done!
