how do you divide 3 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers?

Question

I want to be shown step by step.

Answer 1

Try an example
644/29
First, realize what you are doing. You want to find the number that, when multiplied by 29, equals 644. So when you set it up, starting at the "hundreds digit", which is 6, go to the right until you have something larger than 29. In this case, the something is "64". Going to our multiplication table (dream on), since 29x2=58 and 29x3=87, we put a TWO above the 4. Then we multiply 29x2 and get 58. Put that under the "64" and subtract to get 6. Since that isn't larger than 29, we go the right again until you have something larger than 29. Again, it will be "64". So doing what we did before, we will have 22 with 6 left over. We can quit there or continue on. To continue on, we add a decimal point and a zero after the decimal point. We bring down the zero, so that we have "60". We can divide this by 29, which again yields a two. We put the two over the zero and note that this is a DECIMAL, so the result is 22.2. We multiply 29x2 to get 58, subtract from 60 and have a 2 left over. ETC.

Answer 2

EX: 160/10 (160 divided by 10)

Step 1: How many times will ten go into 16 (once)
Step 2: Subtract 10 (10x1) from 16= left with six
Step 3: drop down the zero
Step 4: divide sixty by 10= six
Step 5: the 1and 6 make a 16 (160/10 = 16)

Answer 3

Draw the long division layout:

10T1 + O1 ) 100H2 + 10 T2 + O2

If H2 >= T1, find the largest T3 that multiples T1 to give a result <= H2; otherwise, find the largest O3 that multiplies T1 to give a result <= 10H2 + T2. Multiply the terms and put the parts of the result under the corresponding columns in the dividend (numerator). Subtract and bring down the next lower term. Repeat with the next lower term of the quotient.

If Yahoo were set up to make things line up the way they're typed, I could demonstrate, but NOOOOOOOOO! They're too lazy to program!

Just to show that it can be easily done when you're not handicapped by a lame website, http://hspost.com/longdiv.html

Answer 4

100 div 2 = 50

Answer 5

you can't really show you on here...

there's no divide box(?) or whatever its called.
Shouldn't you be in bed, kid?
