LONG DIVISION (3 DIGITS)

Divide 657 by 3.

H T O Step 1. Start with the hundreds.
2 1 9 6 hundreds ÷ 3 = 2 hundreds with nothing left over.

3 6 5 7 Step 2. Bring down 5 tens.
– 6 5 tens ÷ 3 = 1 ten with 2 left over

5 Step 3. Bring down 7 ones.

– 3 27 ones ÷ 3 = 9 ones
2 7 Stop the division when the remainder is less than
the divisor.
– 2 7

Division with Remainder

Divide 276 by 7.

H T O Step 1. Start with the hundreds.

3 9 2 is less than 7.

7 2 7 6 So, consider the first two digits.

– 2 1 27 tens ÷ 7 = 3 tens with 6 left over.
Step 2. Bring down 6 ones.
6 6 66 ones ÷ 7 = 9 ones with 3 as the remainder

– 6 3 Stop the division when the remainder is less than
3 the divisor.
