Question

What are the steps in dividing by a multiple of ten?

Answer 1

for this question, I am going to use the example 249÷20.
Find 249 ÷ 20.

Estimate: 240 ÷ 20 = 12

Divide the tens.

1
____
20)249 Divide: 24 ÷ 20 = 1
- 20 Multiply: 1 x 20 = 20
4 Subtract: 24 - 20 = 4
Compare: 4 < 20

Bring down the ones. Divide the ones.

12 R9
_____
20)249
- 20V
49 Divide: 49 ÷ 20 = 2
- 40 Multiply: 2 x 20 = 40
9 Subtract: 49 - 40 = 9
Compare: 9 < 20

The answer is reasonable since it is close to the estimate, 12.
