Dividing by divisors

Divide Symbol

The symbol used to represent divide or division is ÷

Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient + Remainder.

For example, 46÷5

Here, 46 is the dividend
5 is the divisor

If 46 is divided by 5, we get the quotient as 9 and the remainder 1
Dividing by using area model strategy :

Area Models in Division Problems : 59 ÷ 9

First, set up an area model with columns matching the number of place values
of the dividend. Fifty-nine has two place values, so set up an area model with
two columns.

Next, put the divisor, five, on the left side, and write fifty-nine inside the first
column.

It is usually easier to multiply by tens first, so write a ten above the first column
