655 ÷ 3 = N

9. Step 1
• Divide first number in the
dividend, 6, by 3
3 ) 6 5 5
• Think how many 3’s will
fit into 6.
2
How many 3’s
will go into 6?
• Write that number directly
above the number you divided
into.

whether you repeat the 5 steps
of division.

• If your new number, 5, can be divided into your
divisor , or if you have numbers in the dividend
that have not been brought down, you repeat the 5
steps of division.

24. To check the answer in
division, multiply the
quotient and the divisor.
Add the remainder, if any.
The result should be equal
to the dividend.

374 ÷ 5 = N

27. 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
5 ) 3 7 5
• Think how many 5’s will
fit into 37.
7
How many 5’s
will you get
in 37?
• Write that number directly
above the number 7 you divided
into.
