Use long division to divide a multi-digit number by a one-digit number.
Step 1: Write the divisor to the left of the long division symbol, and write the dividend under the long division symbol.
Step 2: The first digit of the dividend, 5, is less than the divisor, 6, so divide the first two digits of the dividend by the divisor (52 ÷ 6 = 8 R4). Write the 8 in the tens place of the
quotient.
Step 3: Bring down the next digit in the dividend, 3, and divide
(43 ÷ 6 = 7 R1). Write the 7 in the ones place of the
quotient.
Step 4: 1 cannot be divided by 6 evenly, so the 1 is left over. The number left over at the end of a division problem is called the
remainder. Write the remainder with the
quotient.
