Title: Division

Grade: 4-a Lesson: S1-L6

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

Examples:

Divide 585 ÷ 5

Step 1a

Draw the division symbol ⟌ and write divisor 5 is on left side and dividend 585 closed under this symbol.

$1a$

Explanation: Arrange the numbers in division form:

Step 1b

580 is divisible by 5, but since 5 × 11 = 55. We proceed with it.
Subtract 58 - 55 = 3 and write 11 in the first Quotient.

$1b$

Explanation: In this step, 58 is divisible by 5. However, since 5 × 11 = 55, we proceed with it. Subtract 58 - 55 = 3 and write 11 in the first Quotient.

Step 1c

Now, bring down the next value, 5. The number to be considered now is 35.
35 is divisible by 5, but since 5 × 7 = 35, subtract 35 - 35 = 0 and write 7 in the Quotient.

$1c$

Explanation: In this step, bring down the next value, 5, and write it next to 5. Since 35 is divisible by 5, we divide 35 by 5 to get 7 and then subtract 35 from 35, resulting in 0. Hence, 585 divided by 5 is 117.

Step 1d

Therefore the quotient = 117.
And the remainder is 0.

$1d$

Explanation: Hence, 585 divided by 5 is 117.
