4th Grade Math - Division Lesson
One way to divide a number with more than one digit by a one-digit number is by using partial quotients.
Example:
Step 1: Set up the problem.
3
3164
Step 2: Think of a multiple of 3 that is less than 3,164. An easy multiple of 3 is 3,000 (3 × 1,000 = 3,000). Write 1,000 to the right of the long line, and write 3,000 under 3,164. Subtract 3,000 from 3,164.
3
3164
1000
- 3000
164
Step 3: Repeat the process with 164. A multiple of 3 that is less than 164 is 150 (3 × 50 = 150).

- 150
14
Step 4: Repeat the process with 14. A multiple of 3 that is less than 14 is 12 (3 × 4 = 12).

Step 5: Add the numbers on the right.
1,000 + 50 + 4 = 1,054
Since 2 is not divisible by 3, the remainder is 2. So, 3,164 ÷ 3 = 1,054 R2.
Use long division to divide a multi-digit number by a one-digit number.
Example:
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, 3, is less than the divisor, 4, so divide the first two digits of the dividend by the divisor (31 ÷ 4 = 7 R3). Write the 7 in the hundreds place of the quotient.
Step 3: Bring down the next digit in the dividend, 7, and divide (37 ÷ 4 = 9 R1). Write the 9 in the tens place of the quotient.
Step 4: Bring down the next digit in the dividend, 6, and divide (16 ÷ 4 = 4). Write the 4 in the ones place of the quotient.
Use long division to divide a multi-digit number by a one-digit number.
Example:
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.
