How to divide numbers

The subject of division of numbers is one of the most responsible in the mathematical program of the 5th class. Without mastering this knowledge the further studying mathematics is impossible. To divide numbers to have in life every day. And always you should not rely on the calculator. To divide two numbers, it is necessary to remember a certain sequence of actions.

It is required to you

  • The sheet of paper in a cage,
  • handle or pencil

Instruction

1. Write down a dividend and a divider on one line. Divide them vertical line height in two lines. Draw a horizontal line under a divider and a dividend perpendicular to the previous line. On the right under this line private will register. Below and more to the left of a dividend, under horizontal line, write down zero.

2. Transfer one most left, but the dividend figure which was not transferred yet under the last horizontal line down. Mark the postponed dividend figure with a point.

3. Compare number under the last horizontal line to a divider. If the number is less than divider, then continue from a step 4, otherwise pass to a step 5.

4. Look whether there are in a dividend yet not transferred figures. Not transferred figures are not marked with points. If such figures are, then pass to a step 2, differently to a step 7.

5. Calculate the following figure of private. Count what it is greatest number of times it is possible to subtract a divider from number under the last horizontal line. Add this figure to private.

6. Calculate the following rest. Multiply a divider by the last figure of private. Write down result with a minus sign under the number which is under the last horizontal line. Under the written-down number draw the following horizontal line. Subtract the last written-down number from penultimate. Write down result under just drawn line. Pass to a step 4.

7. Division of numbers is finished. Under a divider the private two numbers are written down now. The number under the last horizontal line on the party of a dividend is a remainder of division.
