Division
 Operation of making equal groups
 Inverse of multiplication
dividend divisor = quotient

Check:
6  quotient
x6  dividend
36
+2  remainder
38  dividend
1. Divide – Can 6 x __ = 3 or less? No. Place an ‘x’ over the 3.
Can 6 x __= 38 or less? Yes. 6x6=36. Place the ‘6’ over the 8.
2. Multiply- 6 x 6=36 and place 36 under the dividend.
3. Subtract- 38-36 =2.
4. Remainder - goes to the top ‘2’
5. Check by multiplying the whole answer to the divisor and adding the remainder

1. Divide – Can 3 x __ = 4 or less? Yes. 3x1
2. Multiply- 3x1=3 and write this number under the dividend.
3. Subtract- 4-3=1
4. Bring down- the ‘8’
5. Repeat
6. Divide – Can 3 x __ = 18 or less? Yes. 3x6
7. Multiply- 3x6=18 and write 6 over the 8 and write 18 under 18.
8. Subtract- 18-18=0
9. Bring down- the ‘5’
10. Repeat
11. Divide – Can 3 x __ = 5 or less? Yes. 3x1
12. Multiply- 3x1=3 and write 1 over the 5 and write 3 under 5.
13. Subtract- 5-3=2.
14. Bring down- There are no numbers available to bring down.
15. Remainder – is 2 which goes to the top (r.2)
16. Check by multiplying the whole answer to the divisor and adding the remainder
