Preparatory Activity

Philip has 879 tickets. If he shares

equal number of tickets among his 7
friends, how many tickets does each
friend get?
Divide 875 by 7
Steps 8 ÷ 7 = 1 Answer:
7 x 1 = 7 Each of Philip’s
8 – 7 = 1 friends will be
receiving 125 tickets.
Bring down 7
17 ÷ 7 = 2
2 x 7 = 14
17 – 4 = 3
Bring down 9
39 ÷ 7 = 5
5 x 7 = 35
39 – 35 = 4
4 is your remainder

To divide one digit
divisor remember to:
• Determine the first partial dividend
• Divide the partial dividend by the
divisor
• Multiply the quotient by the divisor
• Subtract the product from the partial
dividend
• Bring down the next digit dividend
then repeat the steps.
