For example : 7191 ÷

Firstly, put the larger number inside the division bar and the smaller number outside.

For example : 7191 ÷

7 1 9 1

Firstly, put the larger number inside the division bar and the smaller number outside.

Firstly, put the larger number inside the division bar and the smaller number outside.

For example : 7191 ÷ 17

7 1 9 117

17 7 1 9 1

Now try to divide the number in the thousands column (7) by 17:

17 7 1 9 1

Now try to divide the number in the thousands column (7) by 17:7 divided by 17 = 0 remainder 7

17 7 1 9 1

Now try to divide the number in the thousands column (7) by 17:7 divided by 17 = 0 remainder 7

The 0 is placed directly above the 7 in the thousands column

17 7 1 9 1

Now try to divide the number in the thousands column (7) by 17:7 divided by 17 = 0 remainder 7

The 0 is placed directly above the 7 in the thousands column

0

17 7 1 9 1

Now try to divide the number in the thousands column (7) by 17:7 divided by 17 = 0 remainder 7

And the remainder 7 is placed next to the 1 in the hundreds

0

Now try to divide the number in the thousands column (7) by 17:7 divided by 17 = 0 remainder 7

And the remainder 7 is placed next to the 1 in the hundreds

17 7 1 9 1 0

7

Then, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (71) by 17:

17 7 1 9 1 0

7

Then, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (71) by 17:71 divided by 17 =

17 7 1 9 1 0

7

Then, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (71) by 17:71 divided by 17 = 4 remainder 3

17 7 1 9 1 0

7

Then, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (71) by 17:71 divided by 17 = 4 remainder 3The 4 is placed directly above the 71

17 7 1 9 1 0

7

Then, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (71) by 17:71 divided by 17 = 4 remainder 3The 4 is placed directly above the 71

17 7 1 9 1 0 4

7

Then, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (71) by 17:71 divided by 17 = 4 remainder 3And the remainder of 3 is placed next to the 9 in the tens column

17 7 1 9 1 0 4

7

Then, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (71) by 17:71 divided by 17 = 4 remainder 3And the remainder of 3 is placed next to the 9 in the tens column

17 7 1 9 1 0 4

7 3

Next, try to divide the number in the tens column (39) by 17:

17 7 1 9 1 0 4

7 3

Next, try to divide the number in the tens column (39) by 17:39 divided by 17 =

17 7 1 9 1 0 4

7 3

Next, try to divide the number in the tens column (39) by 17:39 divided by 17 = 2 remainder 5

17 7 1 9 1 0 4

7 3

Next, try to divide the number in the tens column (39) by 17:39 divided by 17 = 2 remainder 5The 2 is placed directly above the 39

17 7 1 9 1 0 4

7 3

Next, try to divide the number in the tens column (39) by 17:39 divided by 17 = 2 remainder 5The 2 is placed directly above the 39

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2

7 3

Next, try to divide the number in the tens column (39) by 17:39 divided by 17 = 2 remainder 5And the remainder of 5 is placed next to the 1 in the units column

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2

7 3

Next, try to divide the number in the tens column (39) by 17:39 divided by 17 = 2 remainder 5And the remainder of 5 is placed next to the 1 in the units column

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2

7 3 5

Finally, try to divide the number in the units column (51) by 17:

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2

7 3 5

Finally, try to divide the number in the units column (51) by 17:51 divided by 17

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2

7 3 5

Finally, try to divide the number in the units column (51) by 17:51 divided by 17 = 3

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2

7 3 5

Finally, try to divide the number in the units column (51) by 17:51 divided by 17 = 3The 3 is placed above the 51 in the units column

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2

7 3 5

Finally, try to divide the number in the units column (51) by 17:51 divided by 17 = 3The 3 is placed above the 51 in the units column

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2 3

7 3 5

7191 divided by 17 = 423

17 7 1 9 1 0 4 2 3

7 3 5
