Title: Division

Grade: 4-a Lesson: S4-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 876 ÷ 16

Step 1a

Divide 876 ÷ 16

Draw the division symbol ⟌ and write divisor 16 is on left side and dividend 876 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 < 16 now the value is 87.

$1b$

Explanation: 87 is not divisible by 16 but since we know that \$5 times 16 = 80\$. we go for it subtract 87 - 80 = 7. write the 5 in first quotient.

Step 1c

Bring down the next value 6. Here the value is 76.

$1c$

Explanation: 76 is not divisible by 16 but since we know that \$4 times 16 = 64\$. we go for it subtract 76 - 64 = 12 and write 4 in second quotient.

Step 1d

Therefore the quotient = 54 and the remainder is 12.

$1d$

Explanation: So quotient = 54 and the remainder is 12.
