Firstly, put the larger number inside the division bar and the smaller number outside.
For example : 741 ÷
Firstly, put the larger number inside the division bar and the smaller number outside.
For example : 741 ÷
7 4 1
Firstly, put the larger number inside the division bar and the smaller number outside.
Firstly, put the larger number inside the division bar and the smaller number outside.
For example : 741 ÷ 3
7 4 1 3
7 4 1 3
Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:
7 4 1 3
Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1
7 4 1 3
Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1The 2 is placed directly above the 7
7 4 1 3 2
Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1The 2 is placed directly above the 7
Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1And the remainder (1) is placed next to the 4 in the tens column
7 4 1 3 2
7 4 1 3 2

Now, try to divide the number in the hundreds column (7) by 3:7÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1And the remainder (1) is placed next to the 4 in the tens column
7 4 1 3 2
1
Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:
7 4 1 3 2
1
Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2
7 4 1 3 2
1
Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2The 4 is placed directly above the 14
7 4 1 3 2 4
1
Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2The 4 is placed directly above the 14
7 4 1 3 2 4
1
Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2And the remainder of 2 is placed next to the 1 in the units
7 4 1 3 2 4
1
Now, divide the new number in the tens column (14) by 3:14 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 2And the remainder of 2 is placed next to the 1 in the units
2
7 4 1 3 2 4

Finally divide the new number in the units column (21) by 3:
2
7 4 1 3 2 4
1
Finally divide the new number in the units column (21) by 3:21 ÷ 3 = 7
2
7 4 1 3 2 4
1
Finally divide the new number in the units column (21) by 3:21 ÷ 3 = 7The 7 is placed directly above the 21 in the units column
2
7 4 1 3 2 4 7
1
Finally divide the new number in the units column (21) by 3:21 ÷ 3 = 7The 7 is placed directly above the 21 in the units column
2
7 4 1 3 2 4 7
1
So: 741 ÷ 3 = 247
