📚 Part 1: Step-by-Step Division Guide

How to Divide a 3-Digit Number by a 2-Digit Number

Example: 456 ÷ 24

Step 1: Set up your division problem in long division format.

Step 2: Estimate first! Ask yourself: "How many times does 24 go into 45?" (Look at the first two digits)

Step 3: Try 1 or 2. Since 24 × 2 = 48 (too big), use 1.

Step 4: Multiply: 1 × 24 = 24. Write 24 under 45.

Step 5: Subtract: 45 - 24 = 21

Step 6: Bring down the next digit (6). Now you have 216.

Step 7: Ask: "How many times does 24 go into 216?"

Step 8: Estimate: 24 × 9 = 216. Perfect!

Step 9: Write 9 in your answer. Subtract 216 - 216 = 0

Answer: 456 ÷ 24 = 19

💡 Part 2: Helpful Tips & Practice

Remember These Tips!

• Always estimate first! It helps you choose the right number.

• Check your remainder carefully! It should always be smaller than your divisor.

• If your estimate is too big, try the next smaller number.

• Don't forget to bring down the next digit after subtracting.
