How to Play the 3-Digit Divide by 1-Digit Game
To play successfully, you need to master the layout of Long Division.

1. Understand the Layout
   The game uses a standard long division bracket. It is designed to help you visualize Place Value.
   The Divisor (Outside): The number of cookies that fit into one box.
   The Dividend (Inside): The total number of cookies you have in the batch.
   The Quotient (Top): This is where you type your answer. You must split your answer into Tens and Ones.
   The Remainder (Bottom): Any “leftover” cookies that didn’t make a full box.
   

2. How to Process a Batch
   Since you are dividing a 3-digit number, you follow the DMSB cycle (Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down). In this digital version, you will input the final result column by column.
   Step 1: The Hundreds
   Look at the first digit. How many times does the divisor fit?
   Example: If the batch is 347 and the box size is 4.
   4 cannot fit into 3. You would put a 0 in the Huns (Hundreds) box.
   Step 2: The Tens
   Now look at the first two digits together (the Hundreds and Tens).
   Example: 4 fits into 34 eight times (4 × 8 = 32).
   Put an 8 in the Tens box.
   Step 3: The Ones
   Carry your mental “leftover” (2) over to the last digit (7) to make 27.
   Example: 4 fits into 27 six times (4 × 6 = 24).
   Put a 6 in the Ones box.
   Step 4: The Leftovers
   Subtract your last multiplication from your final working number.
   Example: 27 - 24 = 3.
   Put 3 in the Remainder box.
   

3. Pro-Tips for High Scores
   Don’t skip the “0”: If the divisor doesn’t fit into the first digit, always put a 0 in the Hundreds box to keep the numbers aligned.
   Check the Remainder: If your remainder is equal to or larger than your divisor, you could have filled another box. Go back and increase your quotient.
   The Final Check: Before clicking “Check Batch,” quickly multiply your answer by the divisor and add the remainder.
   Quotient × Divisor + Remainder = Dividend
