Question

When three numbers have to be divided by division method, how will we do it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Divide the digits of the dividend by the digits of the divisor.

In order to divide 459 by 438, we take the first digit of each number and divide them: 4÷4 = 1.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step #1. Observe how many digits the divisor has.

In our example, the divisor has 3 digits.

Step #2. In the dividend, start with the same number of digits that you found in Step #1.

Step #2. In the dividend, start with the same number of digits that you found in Step #1.

Step #3. Compare the 3 digits from the dividend and divisor.

If the dividend’s number is greater, we can begin dividing. In our example, we see that 389 is greater than 125, so let’s get started!

If the dividend’s number is less than the divisor, we must use another digit from the dividend. We’ll look at an example of this situation at a different time.

Step #4. Divide the dividend’s numbers by the divisor’s numbers.

Divide the dividend’s first number (which is 3 in our example) by the divisor’s first number (1). 3 divided by 1 is 3. Then, we multiply our divisor (125) by 3 and see that it fits in (in other words, that it’s less than) the dividend’s 3 numbers. So, we place the result underneath the dividend’s 3 digits and subtract.

Step #5. Bring down the dividend’s next number and divide as you did in the last step until there are no more numbers left.

After bringing down the 2, now we need to divide 142 by 125. The first digit of each number is 1, so we go with 1 and write 1 in the quotient. Then, we multiply 125 x 1 and get 125; 125 fits in 142, so we can move on to subtract it.

Now we don’t have any more numbers left from the dividend to bring down. And just like that, we divided 3892 by 125.

The answer is 31, which is the quotient, and we have a remainder of 17.

Quickly, we’re going to check our answer. Do you know how to check a division problem?

Dividend = divisor x quotient + remainder

Let’s put it to the test. What is 125 x 31 + 17? 3892. That’s just the same value as the dividend.

Checked and successful!

Be careful! If we don’t get the same answer when you check the problem, we have to retrace our steps because it means that something went wrong in our calculations.
