Division 79

Step 2: Bring down 9 tens. Step 3: Bring down 3 ones.

Divide 9 tens by 3. Divide 3 ones by 3.

9 tens ÷ 3 = 3 tens 3 ones ÷ 3 = 1 one

Write 3 as quotient Write 1 as quotient and 3 under

and 9 under tens ones column and subtract.
column and subtract.
Thus, 393 ÷ 3 = 131

Example 2: Divide 525 by 5.

Solution: H T O

1 0 5
5 5 2 5

–5
0 2 5 2 cannot be divided by 5. So, bring down the digit
5 also and write 0 in the tens column of quotient.
2 5

Division of 4-digit Number by 1-digit Number
Now, let us learn how to divide a 4-digit number by a 1-digit number.

Let’s Attempt

Example 1: Divide 2684 by 2. Th H T O

Solution: Step 1: Divide 2 thousands by 2. 1 3 4 2

2 thousands ÷ 2 = 1 thousand 2 2 6 8 4
Write 1 as quotient and 2 under thousands –2
column and subtract. 0 6

Step 2: Divide 6 hundreds by 2. – 6
6 hundreds ÷ 2 = 3 hundreds 0 8

Write 3 as quotient and 6 under hundreds – 8
column and subtract. 0 4
Step 3: Divide 8 tens by 2. – 4
0
8 tens ÷ 2 = 4 tens
Write 4 as quotient and 8 under tens column and subtract.

Step 4: Divide 4 ones by 2.
4 ones ÷ 2 = 2 ones
Write 2 as quotient and 4 under ones column and subtract.

Thus, 2684 ÷ 2 = 1342
