Dividing Numbers | Elementary

I determine the number of groups to form and then place an object in each group.

The division 27 ÷ 3 means that I am dividing the objects into 3 equal groups.

I restart until I have shared all 27 items, and then I count how many objects are placed in each group. 

I placed 9 objects in each group.

I determine the number of groups to form and place the same amount of hundreds, tens, and ones in each group.

The division 364 ÷ 2 means that I am dividing 364 into 2 equal groups.

I count the number of hundreds, tens, and ones placed in each group.

I have 1 hundred, 8 tens, and 2 ones in each group.

First, I place the divisor to the left of the division bracket.

I divide the first number of the dividend.

I ask myself how many times 2 goes into 6.
2 goes 3 times into 6, since 2 × 3 = 6.

I write 3 above the division bracket and 6 under the 6 of the dividend.

Finally, I perform a subtraction. 
6 - 6 = 0

I bring down the next number of the dividend and place it to the right of the subtraction’s answer.

I ask myself how many times 2 goes into 1.
2 does not go into 1 evenly.

I write 0 on top of the division bracket as well as under the 1 of the subtraction.

I perform a subtraction.
1 - 0 = 1

I bring down the next digit (4) and continue the division using the number 14.

2 goes 7 times into 14, since 2 × 7 = 14.

Next, I write 7 above the division bracket and 14 under 14.

I perform a subtraction.
14 - 14 = 0

The division is complete since the result of the subtraction is 0 and there is no digit left to bring down.

First, I place the divisor (12) to the left of the division bracket.

Then, I divide the first number of the dividend.

I ask myself how many times 12 goes into 2.
12 does not go into 2.

So, I look at the first two digits of the dividend.

I ask myself how many times 12 goes into 29.

12 goes into 29 twice, since 2 × 12 = 24.

Next, I write 2 in the result above the division bracket and 24 under the 29 of the dividend.

I perform a subtraction.
29 - 24 = 5

I bring down the next number of the dividend and place it to the right of the subtraction’s answer.

I ask myself how many times 12 goes into 54.
12 goes 4 times into 54, since 12 × 4 = 48.

I write 4 above the division bracket and 48 under 54.

I perform a subtraction.
54 - 48 = 6

I bring down the next number.

I ask myself how many times 12 goes into 60.
12 goes 5 times into 60, since 5 × 12 = 60.

I perform a subtraction.
60 - 60 = 0

The division is complete, since the result of the subtraction is 0 and there is no digit left to bring down.
