Strategies to divide 3-digit by 1-digit (with remainder)

  1. Think Multiplication (Short Division)
    Short division, also known as the “bus stop” method, is faster and a bit more compact than long division.
    The key to this method is to work from left to right, “carrying over” any leftover numbers. Let’s use the example of 457÷3 to walk through the steps.
  2. Set up the problem. First, draw a “bus stop” symbol. Write the dividend (457) inside the symbol and the divisor (3) outside to the left.
  3. Divide the first digit. Look at the first digit of the dividend, 4. How many times does 3 go into 4? It goes in 1 time. Write the 1 on top of the bus stop line, directly above the 4. You have 1 left over (since 4−3=1).
  4. Carry the remainder. Take the leftover 1 and carry it over to the next digit, the 5. You can draw a small number 1 next to the 5 to help you remember. This now makes a new number: 15.
  5. Divide the new number. How many times does 3 go into 15? It goes in 5 times exactly. Write the 5 on top of the bus stop line, above the 5. There is no remainder, so you carry over a 0.
  6. Divide the last number. Now, look at the last digit, the 7. How many times does 3 go into 7? It goes in 2 times. Write the 2 on top, above the 7. You have 1 left over (since 7−(3×2)=1).
  7. The final remainder. Since you’ve reached the end of the number, the leftover 1 is your final remainder. Write it as “R1” next to your answer on top.
    Your final answer should be 152 R 1.
    This method can be a little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of carrying over the remainders, it becomes very fast.
    The video gives a clear, step-by-step approach to walk through the process of dividing a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number using short division with remainders.

     
  8. Long Division
    The video gives a clear, step-by-step approach to walk through the process of dividing a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number using long division.
