Worked examples

Real problems from the practice worksheets, solved one step at a time.

1. Example 1

   234 ÷ 9 = ?

   1. Use the partial quotients method.
   2. How many 9s can you subtract from 234?
   3. 9 × 20 = 180
   4. 9 × 5 = 45
   5. 9 × 1 = 9
   6. Add the quotients: 20 + 5 + 1 = 26
   7. 234 ÷ 9 = 26

   Answer: 26

2. Example 2

   854 ÷ 7 = ?

   1. Use the partial quotients method.
   2. How many 7s can you subtract from 854?
   3. 7 × 100 = 700
   4. 7 × 20 = 140
   5. 7 × 2 = 14
   6. Add the quotients: 100 + 20 + 2 = 122
   7. 854 ÷ 7 = 122

   Answer: 122

3. Example 3

   306 ÷ 9 = ?

   1. Use the partial quotients method.
   2. How many 9s can you subtract from 306?
   3. 9 × 20 = 180
   4. 9 × 10 = 90
   5. 9 × 2 = 18
   6. 9 × 2 = 18
   7. Add the quotients: 20 + 10 + 2 + 2 = 34
   8. 306 ÷ 9 = 34

   Answer: 34
