Let's use an area model to find the answer to $3024\div3$3024÷3.
a
We set up the area model using a rectangle like this.
| $3$3 | |
| Total area: $3024$3024 |
Now if we don't know straight away what $3024\div3$3024÷3 is, we start with something we do know, like groups of $1000$1000.
Fill in the area used so far if we take out $1000$1000 groups of $3$3.
