How to divide using the Partial Quotients Method?
The partial quotients method (sometimes also called chunking) uses repeated subtraction to solve simple division questions.
When dividing a large number (dividend) by a small number (divisor)
Step 1: Subtract from the dividend an easy multiple (for example 100×, 10×, 5× 2×, etc.) of the divisor.Step 2: Repeat the subtraction until the large number has been reduced to zero or the remainder is less than the divisor.
Step 3: Add up the multipliers of the divisor that were used in the repeated subtraction to find the answer of the division.
