Division
Made
Easy!
Let’s try to divide!
Quotient (the answer)

Divisor5)267Dividend
Does=Divide
Check and see if the
divisor goes into the
first number of the
dividend. (does 5 go
into 2--can you make 1
or more groups of 5?)
If not put a 0 as a place
holder.
0
5)267
Now check and see if the
5 goes into the two
digit number. (Does 5
go into 26. Can you
make groups of five
without going over 26.)
If you can put the
number on the top.
05
5)267
McDonalds=Multiply
Now multiply the number
you just wrote with the
divisor. Put that
number under the two
digit number in the
dividend.
5 x 5 = 25

And the QUOTIENT is…..

OR 53.4
Now try these:
28 ÷ 3
324 ÷ 7
542 ÷ 14
