• Divide first number in the dividend,
6, by 3

• Think how many 3’s will
fit into 6.

How many 3’s
will go into 6?
• Write that number directly
above the number you divided
into.

division, multiply the
quotient and the divisor.
Add the remainder, if any.
The result should be equal
to the dividend.

374 ÷ 5 = N

22. Step 1
• Look at the first in the dividend,
since 3 cannot be divided 5, you
need to pair it up number next to
it, so it will become 37 divided by

5 ) 3 7 5
• Think how many 5’s will
fit into 37.
