Lesson Fifty-two: Division with Remainders


Here's a simple division problem that's a little longer than those you saw in the last lesson.

            646
     	 +-------                 
       5 | 3230                1. Divide 5 into 32 
           30		       2. Multiply 5 x 6 = 30
          ----                 3. Subract 32 - 30 = 2
            23                 4. Bring down the 3
            20                 5. Divide 5 into 23
           ----                6. Multiply 5 x 4 = 20
             30                7. Subtract 23 - 20 = 3
             30                8. Bring down the 0
            -----              9. Divide 5 into 30
              0               10. Multiply 5 x 6 = 30
                              11. Subtract 30 - 30 = 0

Here's another example for you:

            481 
     	 +------                
       6 | 2886                1. Divide 6 into 28 
           24		       2. Multiply 6 x 4 = 24
          ----                 3. Subract 28 - 24 = 4
            48                 4. Bring down the 8
            48                 5. Divide 6 into 48
           ----                6. Multiply 6 x 8 = 48
             06                7. Subtract 48 - 48 = 0
              6                8. Bring down the 6
            ----               9. Divide 6 into 6
              0               10. Multiply 6 x 1 = 6
                              11. Subtract 6 - 6 = 0

On the next page you will be presented with division problems in the form:


       5212 / 4

       You can convert these to this form:

          +-------
       4  |  5212 

       And do them on scatch paper to get the answers.
