16g 3 8 5

4. Look at how many 16’s go into 65. 16 × 4 = 64, 024

so write 4 above the line at the top, and write 64
underneath 65 and subtract. – 32
65
5. When there are no more digits to bring down, the –64
number on top gives you the whole part of the answer, 1
and any number at the bottom is the remainder. To get
an exact answer for the division, write the remainder 385 ÷ 16 = 24 remainder 1
as a fraction of the number you divided by. 1
= 24 16
