Division When you divide large numbers, break the numbers up to help you work out division answers. Example: What is 54 divided by 3? Break 54 up into 30 and 24.

30 รท 3 = 10 24 รท 3 = 8 So 54 รท 3 = 18

Remember โ if there are remainders in division problems, check that the answer makes sense. Should you round the answer up or down?

Example: 15 pencils are shared equally between four people. How many will each person get? Three pencils each and three left over. Example: A box can hold four pencils. How many boxes are needed for 15 pencils? Four boxes, with one box of three pencils.
