do you know place value division
Yes, I am familiar with place value division. Place value division is a method of dividing whole numbers using the place value system, where each digit has a specific value based on its position in the number.
To perform place value division, follow these steps:
1. Write the dividend (the number being divided) on top, and the divisor (the number doing the dividing) on the bottom.
2. Begin by dividing the leftmost digit of the dividend by the divisor. Write the quotient (the result of the division) above the dividend, and the remainder (if any) below the dividend.
3. Bring down the next digit of the dividend and place it next to the remainder (if any).
4. Divide this new number by the divisor, and write the new quotient above the dividend.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 until you have brought down all the digits of the dividend.
6. The final result of the division is the concatenation of all the quotients obtained.
Here's an example to illustrate the process:
Let's divide 456 by 3.
1 5 2
------
3 | 4 5 6
- Divide 4 by 3: 4 ÷ 3 = 1, with no remainder. Write 1 above 4.
- Bring down the next digit, 5. We now have 15.
- Divide 15 by 3: 15 ÷ 3 = 5, with no remainder. Write 5 above 5.
- Bring down the last digit, 6. We now have 6.
- Divide 6 by 3: 6 ÷ 3 = 2, with no remainder. Write 2 above 6.
The final result is 152. Therefore, 456 divided by 3 equals 152.
Remember to always check your work by multiplying the quotient by the divisor to see if you get the original dividend.
I hope this explanation helps you understand place value division! Let me know if you have any further questions.
