Title: Division

Grade: 2-a Lesson: S3-L6

Explanation: The best way to understand divisions is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding.

Examples:

Step 1a

Divide 355 by 5

Draw the division symbol ⟌ and write divisor (5) on its left side and dividend (355) enclosed under this symbol.

$1a$

Explanation: Arrange the numbers in division form:

Step 1b

Since the first digit of the dividend is less than the divisor (3 < 5), bring down the next digit of the dividend.
New dividend is 35, divisible by 5. We know that 5 x 7= 35.
Write quotient 7 and subtract 35 - 35 = 0.

$1b$

Explanation: Here, the first digit of the dividend is 3, but 3 < 5 put down the next digit of the dividend and place it beside 3. New dividend is 35.
35 is divisible by 5.We know that 5 x 7 = 35 Write quotient 7 and subtract 35 - 35 = 0.

Step 1c

In this step,bring down 5.Since 5 is divisible by 5 but we know that 5 x 1 = 5.
Write 1 in the quotient. Therefore quotient is 71 and remainder is 0.

$1c$

Explanation: Here, the third digit of the dividend is 5,now new dividend is 5.
5 is divisible by 5,We know that 1 x 5 = 5.
Write 1 in the quotient.

Hence,quotient is 71 and remainder is 0.
