Long Division of Numbers With Remainders
1. Falaq and Zara had 6 roses. They divided the roses equally between them.
a) How many roses did each girl receive?
b) How many roses were left?
a) 6 ÷ 2 = ?
6 ones ÷ 2 = 3 ones with no remainder.
Each girl received 3 roses.
6 ones ÷ 2 = 3 ones with no remainder.
Each girl received 3 roses.
b) There were no roses left.
2. 3 friends shared 14 buttons equally among themselves.
a) How many buttons did each friend get?
b) How many buttons were left?
a) 14 ones ÷ 3 = 4 ones with a remainder of 2 ones. Each friend got 4 buttons.
b) 2 buttons were left.
b) 2 buttons were left.
3. Mrs. Lee baked 48 muffins. She divided the muffins equally among 4 children. How many muffins did each child receive?
Step 1: Divide the tens by 4.
4 tens ÷ 4 = 1 ten
Step 2: Divide the ones by 4.
8 ones ÷ 4 = 2 ones
Each child received 12 muffins.
4. A fruiterer had 77 apples. He packed them equally into 3 baskets.
a) How many apples were there in each basket?
b) How many apples were left?
Step 1a: Divide the tens by 3.
7 tens ÷ 3 = 2 tens with a remainder of 1 ten
Step 1b: Regroup the remainder tens.
1 ten = 10 ones
Add the ones.
10 ones + 7 ones = 17 ones
Step 2: Divide the ones by 3.
17 ones ÷ 3 = 5 ones with a remainder of 2 ones
So, 77 ÷ 3 = 25 R 2.
a) There were 25 apples in each basket.
b) 2 apples were left.
a) There were 25 apples in each basket.
b) 2 apples were left.
5. Jenny collected 630 postcards. She put the postcards equally into 4 albums.
a) How many postcards did she put in each album?
b) How many postcards were left?
Step 1a: Divide the hundreds by 4.
6 hundreds ÷ 4 = 1 hundred with a remainder of 2 hundreds
6 hundreds ÷ 4 = 1 hundred with a remainder of 2 hundreds
Step 1b: Regroup the remainder hundreds.
2 hundreds = 20 tens
Add the tens.
20 tens + 3 tens = 23 tens
Step 2a: Divide the tens by 4.
23 tens ÷ 4 = 5 tens with a remainder of 3 tens
Step 2b: Regroup the remainder tens.
3 tens = 30 ones
Add the ones.
30 ones + 0 ones = 30 ones
Step 3: Divide the ones by 4.
30 ones ÷ 4 = 7 ones with a remainder of 2 ones
So, 630 ÷ 4 = 157 R 2.
a) She put 157 postcards in each album.
b) 2 postcards were left.
a) She put 157 postcards in each album.
b) 2 postcards were left.
