Divide Using Partial Quotients and Rectangular Models

Front

What is division?

Back

Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts. It is the opposite of multiplication.

Front

What is a dividend?

Back

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

Front

What is a divisor?

Back

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

Front

What is a quotient?

Back

The quotient is the result of a division problem.

Front

What are partial quotients?

Back

Partial quotients are a method of division where you subtract multiples of the divisor from the dividend until you reach zero.

How do you use partial quotients to divide 224 by 7?

Back

1. Start with 224. 2. Subtract 70 (10 times 7) to get 154. 3. Subtract 70 again to get 84. 4. Subtract 70 again to get 14. 5. Subtract 7 (1 time) to get 0. 6. Add the quotients: 10 + 10 + 10 + 1 = 32.

Front

What is a rectangular model in division?

Back

A rectangular model visually represents division by showing the dividend as a rectangle divided into equal parts.

Front

How do you represent 184 divided by 8 using a rectangular model?

Back

Draw a rectangle and divide it into 8 equal parts. Each part represents the quotient.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If a × b = c, then c ÷ b = a.
