What patterns help you divide? DRaw a picture or make a chart to show how to divide 1600 by 4. Give the quotient. We know the answer but having trouble to make a chart to show the outcome. Please help.
Thanks in advance
One thing to try is to make a large square with 1600 small squares in it. To do so, you would have 40 rows of 40 squares each. Can you see it?
Once you have the whole large square made with the smaller squares inside, draw one vertical line to divide the large square in half. Each of those halves will have 40 rows of 20 small squares each.
Then draw one horizontal line halfway down that vertical line. You should end up with 4 sections of the large square, each section having 20 rows of 20 small squares inside it.
PS - If you do this on graph paper, it'll be easier!
Thanks for the suggestion. I think my son got the idea on what to do.
To divide 1600 by 4 and create a chart to show the outcome, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by writing down the dividend (1600) on the left side of your chart.
2. Write the divisor (4) on the top of your chart.
3. Divide the first digit of the dividend (1) by the divisor (4). Since 1 is smaller than 4, you write 0 in the quotient column and bring down the next digit from the dividend, which is 6.
4. Divide the newly formed two-digit number, 16, by the divisor. It goes evenly, so you write 4 in the quotient column and subtract 16 from 16, which leaves you with 0.
5. Bring down the next digit from the dividend, which is 0. Now you have 0 as the new three-digit number.
6. Divide the three-digit number (00) by 4. It goes evenly, so you write 0 in the quotient column and subtract 00 from 00, which also leaves you with 0.
7. There are no more digits to bring down from the dividend, so the division is complete.
8. The quotient is the final result, which you can write below the dividend. In this case, the quotient is 400.
Here's a visual representation of the chart:
400 r0
__________
4 | 1600
- 1600
______
0
So, 1600 divided by 4 equals 400.
