My daughter is doing 5th grade math division. Her teacher has shown her a different way to divide these days. I know the answer I get (the old way), but can you tell me how you get the answer for 233 divided by 29. They have her "Xing" out the last 3 in 233 and dividing it from there...sound familiar? Thanks.

Is this it, ask her.

you round it

dont know need something else but its in math.

my son has a homework he has to determin intervals

ow stop poking me ok lets come to the point I have a home work were I totally don't understand and ow

Yes, the method you are describing is called the "long division" method. I can certainly explain to you how to use long division to solve the problem 233 divided by 29.

Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Write down the dividend (the number being divided) on the left side of the division sign, and write the divisor (the number we are dividing by) on the outside of the division sign. In this case, the dividend is 233 and the divisor is 29.

```
______
29 | 233
```

2. Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (2) by the divisor (29). In this case, 2 divided by 29 equals 0, because 2 is smaller than 29.

```
0
______
29 | 233
```

3. Multiply the quotient (0) by the divisor (29) and write the result below the dividend. Subtract this result from the first part of the dividend. In this case, 0 multiplied by 29 equals 0, so we subtract 0 from 2 (the first digit of the dividend).

```
0
______
29 | 233
- 0
```

4. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (3) next to the result. We now have 3 as the new dividend (which is 30).

```
0
______
29 | 233
- 0
3
```

5. Divide the new dividend (30) by the divisor (29). In this case, 30 divided by 29 equals 1 with a remainder of 1.

```
0
______
29 | 233
- 0
3
-----
1
```

6. Multiply the new quotient (1) by the divisor (29) and write the result below the new dividend. Subtract this result from the new dividend. In this case, 1 multiplied by 29 equals 29, so we subtract 29 from 30.

```
0
______
29 | 233
- 0
3
-----
1
- 29
```

7. Bring down the last digit of the original dividend (3) next to the result. We now have 13 as the new dividend.

```
0
______
29 | 233
- 0
3
-----
1
- 29
13
```

8. Divide the new dividend (13) by the divisor (29). In this case, 13 divided by 29 is 0.

```
0
______
29 | 233
- 0
3
-----
1
- 29
13
```

9. Multiply the new quotient (0) by the divisor (29) and write the result below the new dividend. Subtract this result from the new dividend. In this case, 0 multiplied by 29 is 0, so we subtract 0 from 13.

```
0
______
29 | 233
- 0
3
-----
1
- 29
13
- 0
```

10. Since there are no more digits to bring down from the dividend, the long division process is complete. The quotient is the number you got from each step, which in this case is 8.

Therefore, 233 divided by 29 equals 8 with a remainder of 1.

I hope this explanation helps you understand the long division method! Let me know if you have any further questions.
