Lesson 5: Divide Multi-Digit Numbers

Division is the process of determining how many times one number is contained within another. It is one of the four basic operations in arithmetic.

A multi-digit number is a number that has two or more digits. For example, 23, 456, and 7890 are all multi-digit numbers.

To divide a multi-digit number by a single-digit number, you can use long division. Start by dividing the first digit, then bring down the next digit, and continue until all digits have been used.

'R' stands for 'remainder' in division. It indicates the amount left over after dividing.

The quotient is the result of dividing one number by another.

To check your division answer, multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder (if any). The result should equal the original dividend.

The dividend is the number that is being divided in a division problem.

The divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided.
