This document provides an explanation of the steps involved in one-digit division. It defines division as splitting into equal parts or groups, and identifies the key parts in a division problem: the dividend, divisor, quotient, and sometimes remainder. The document then outlines the 5 steps to perform one-digit division: 1) divide, 2) multiply, 3) subtract, 4) bring down, 5) repeat or give the remainder. It works through an example problem of 947 divided by 2 to demonstrate how to apply the steps.

947 ÷ 2= N

22. Step 1
• Divide 2 into first
number in the dividend.
2 ) 9 4 7
• Think how many 2’s
will fit into 9.

How many 2’s
will go into 9?
• Write that number directly
above the number you
divided into.

23. Step 2
• Multiply the divisor
times the first
number in the quotient.
2 ) 9 4 7
• Write your answer
directly under the 9
or the number you
just divided into.

26. Step 5 in Long Division
• This is where you decide
whether you repeat the
5 steps of division.
2 ) 9 4 7
• If your divisor can divide into your new number,
14, or if you have numbers in the dividend
that have not been brought down, you repeat
the 5 steps of division.
