Each piece of jewelry costs $1,255. To solve the problem of dividing $5,020 for 4 pieces of jewelry: 1) Divide the numbers place by place, starting from the left. 2) Write the quotient above the dividend. 3) Multiply the divisor and quotient and write the product below the dividend. 4) Subtract and bring down remaining digits to continue dividing. The cost of each of the 4 pieces is $1,255.

1. Division of 3-to 4-digit
numbers by 1 digit divisor
without remainder

2. Study
Bulacan is the home province of some of the nation’s
celebrated heroes: Francisco Baltazar (Balgtas), “The Prince of Filipino Poets;”
Marcelo H. Del Pilar, “the Great Propagandist,” and Gregorio Del Pilar “The Hero
ofTirad Pass.” It is reputed for its beautiful women, progressive cooperatives, and
small and medium-scale industries. It is also known for excellent craftmanship in
jewelry, leather crafts, and garments.
Hannah ordered 4 pieces of well-crafted jewelry amounting to $5,020.00. How
much does each piece of jewelry cost if each piece costs the same amount?
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.
5) Subtract: 10 – 8 = 2
6) Write 2 and bring down 2.
7) New number 22.

6. 1) Divide: 22 ÷ 4 = 5
2) Write 5 in the quotient above
the tens place of the dividend.
3) Multiply: 5 x 4 = 20.
4) Write 20 under 22.
5) Subtract: 22 – 20 = 2
6) Write 2 and bring down 0
7) New number 20.
