What should you do to solve the problem? How do you divide numbers?

3. To divide the numbers, recall the following terms:
 Divisors is a number by which another number is to be divided.
 Dividend is a number to be divided by the divisor.
 Quotient is the answer in division.

4. Solution:
1) Start with the first digit to dividend.
5) Put the product under the thousands place of
dividend.
3)Write 1 in the quotient above the thousands
place of the dividend.
4) Multiply: 1 x 4 = 4
2) Divide 5 ÷ 4 = 1
6) Subtract: 5 – 4 = 1
7)Write: 1 in the thousands place and bring down 0.
8) New number: 10

5. 1) Divide: 10 ÷ 4 = 2
2) Write 2 in the quotient above
the hundreds place of the
dividend.
3) Multiply: 2 x 4 = 8
4) Write 8 under 10.
