Long Division with remainder (3-digits number by 1-digit number):

Learning objective: Students will be able to divide three-digit numbers by
a one-digit number with remainder.

 In Long division, if there is a number left over, after dividing, it is called

the remainder. We call it as division with remainder. We can also

remember steps for Long division using the mnemonic “Does

McDonalds Sell Cheese Burgers Raw”. (Step 1-Divide, Step 2-Multiply,

Step 3-Subtract, Step 4-Check, Step 5- Bring down, Step 6- Repeat or

Remainder).

Example: 726 ÷ 4 =?

 Start by writing the problem in long division form. Look at the first

digit and see how many times 4 will fit into 7.

 Multiply and write 1 on top, as the quotient, and write the product of 1

and 4 below the 7. Subtract this product from 7.

 Bring down the next digit, 2. Since we have a remainder from last

time (3), we should now divide both digits together. Now divide 32

by 4. Write the 8 on top, and write the product of 8 and 4 below the

32. Then subtract.

 Again, bring down the next digit, i.e. 6 and repeat what we did

before. We write the 1 on top, and the product of 1 and 4 below the

6. Then,
