Division and Remainders in Context

Antonio, a pizza chef and mathematician, demonstrates the partial quotients method for division. He explains how to divide 484 pizza slices among three chefs and 625 pieces of cheesy bread among four chefs using this method. The process involves estimating how many times a divisor can fit into the dividend, subtracting the product, and repeating until the remainder is smaller than the divisor. The final quotient is the sum of the partial quotients, and any remainder is expressed as a fraction. Antonio concludes by summarizing the division results.

What is the main idea behind the partial quotients method?

• Dividing by exact numbers only

• Using common multiples and subtracting differences

• Multiplying numbers repeatedly

• Adding numbers to reach a total
