Now that we have found the basic math fact, we should _________ those two numbers.

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide

Once we get an answer to the basic math fact, we should count the __________ in the dividend and the divisor.

Then, to find out how many zeros will be in the answer, we take the number of zeros in the dividend and ___________ the number of zeros in the divisor.

• add

• subtract

• divide

• multiply

Fill in the blanks:

There are ____ zeros in the dividend and ____ zeros in the divisor. So we should have ____ zeros in the quotient because _____________________.

So the answer to  $600\div3$  is

• 2

• 2000

• 20

• 200

Now what if our equation had been:
 $600\div30=\ ?$  
How would our answer be different and why?

• It would be 20 because we have to subtract one zero from two zeroes.

• It would be 2 because we need to take away both of the zeros.

• It would be 2,000 because we need to add a zero.

• It would not change.

Let's practice solving different equations:


 $90\div3=\ ?$
