3.06 Division with larger numbers

Lesson

Are you ready?

Do you remember how to perform long division when dividing large numbers by a single digit? Let's try this problem to practice.

Find the value of $951$951$\div$÷​$4$4.

  1. $951$951$\div$÷​$4$4$=$=$\editable{}$ remainder $\editable{}$.

Learn

We can use long division to divide by $2$2 digit numbers in the same way that we would divide by a single digit.

This video looks at how we set out our work when using long division to divide by a 2 digit number.

Apply

QUESTION 1

Find the value of $5016\div57$5016÷​57

Question 2

Find the value of $379\div29$379÷​29.

  1. $379\div29=\editable{}$379÷​29= with remainder $\editable{}$

Remember!

When we solve division, if we cannot share the total (dividend) equally, we end up with a remainder.
