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

For example : 741 ÷

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

For example : 741 ÷

7 4 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 : 741 ÷ 3

7 4 1 3

7 4 1 3

Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:

7 4 1 3

Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1

7 4 1 3

Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1The 2 is placed directly above the 7

7 4 1 3 2

Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1The 2 is placed directly above the 7

Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1And the remainder (1) is placed next to the 4 in the tens column

7 4 1 3 2

7 4 1 3 2

1

Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1And the remainder (1) is placed next to the 4 in the tens column

7 4 1 3 2

1

Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:

7 4 1 3 2

1

Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2

7 4 1 3 2

1

Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2The 4 is placed directly above the 14

7 4 1 3 2 4

1

Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2The 4 is placed directly above the 14

7 4 1 3 2 4

1

Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2And the remainder of 2 is placed next to the 1 in the units

7 4 1 3 2 4

1

Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2And the remainder of 2 is placed next to the 1 in the units

2

7 4 1 3 2 4

1

Finally divide the new number in the units column (21) by 3:

2

7 4 1 3 2 4

1

Finally divide the new number in the units column (21) by 3:21 ÷ 3 = 7

2

7 4 1 3 2 4

1

Finally divide the new number in the units column (21) by 3:21 ÷ 3 = 7The 7 is placed directly above the 21 in the units column

2

7 4 1 3 2 4 7

1

Finally divide the new number in the units column (21) by 3:21 ÷ 3 = 7The 7 is placed directly above the 21 in the units column

2

7 4 1 3 2 4 7

1

So: 741 ÷ 3 = 247
