The Distributive Property can help you divide. Show how you can break apart the dividend to find the quotient for 224 ÷ 7.
224 ÷ 7 = (210 ÷ 7) + (14 ÷ 7) = 30 + 2 = 32
224 ÷ 7 = (200 ÷ 7) + (24 ÷ 7) = 28 + 3 = 31
224 ÷ 7 = (100 ÷ 7) + (124 ÷ 7) = 14 + 18 = 32
224 ÷ 7 = (220 ÷ 7) + (4 ÷ 7) = 31 + 1 = 32
