Title: Division

Grade: 4-a Lesson: S4-L4

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

Examples:

Divide 857 ÷ 14

Step 1a

Divide 857 ÷ 14

Draw the division symbol ⟌ and write divisor 14 is on left side and dividend 857 enclosed under this symbol.

$1a$

Explanation: Arrange the numbers in division form.

Step 1b

We have to take the second digit value also because 8 < 14 now the value is 85.

$1b$

Explanation: 85 is not divisible by 14 but since we know that \$6 times 14 = 84\$. we go for it subtract 85 - 84 = 1. write the 6 in first quotient.

Step 1c

Bring down the next value 7. Here the value is 17.

$1c$

Explanation: 17 is not divisible by 14 but since we know that \$1 times 14 = 14\$. we go for it subtract 17 - 14 = 3 and write 1 in second quotient.

Step 1d

Therefore the quotient = 61 and the remainder is 3.

$1d$

Explanation: So quotient = 61 and the remainder is 3.
