Division by 1-Digit Division

Division is the inverse operation of multiplication, just as subtraction is the inverse

operation of addition. The result of dividing one number (the dividend) by another
(the divisor) is the quotient. The number in all is the dividend. In this example the
number of groups is the divisor. The number in each group is the quotient.
The remainder is the number that is left over after dividing.

Follow the steps below to complete the division:

Step 1 Divide.
16 tens ÷ 5 = 3 tens
Step 2 Multiply.
5 x 3 tens = 15 tens
Step 3 Subtract.
16 tens − 15 tens = 1 ten
Step 4 Bring down the next digit.
Step 5 Repeat the process.
13 ÷ 5 = 2
5 x 2 = 10
13 − 10 = 3
