Use long division to divide a multi-digit number by a one-digit number.
Step 1: Write the dividend under the long division symbol, and write the divisor to the left of the long division symbol.
Step 2: The first digit of the dividend, 3, is less than the divisor, 6, so divide the first two digits of the dividend by the divisor (32 ÷ 6 = 5 R2). Write the 5 in the hundreds place of the
quotient.
Step 3: Bring down the next digit in the dividend, 1, and divide.
(21 ÷ 6 = 3 R3). Write the 3 in the tens place of the
quotient.
Step 4: Bring down the next digit in the dividend, 3, and divide.
(33 ÷ 6 = 5 R3). Write the 5 in the ones place of the
quotient.
Step 5: 3 cannot be divided by 6 evenly, so the 3 is the remainder. Write the remainder with the
quotient.
