WITHOUT REMAINDER

EXPLORE, DISCOVER, THINK AND SHARE!

Read the Problem


Sassy placed 630 mangoes equally in 7 baskets. How many mangoes should each basket
have?
Can you solve the problem mentally?
Think of basic division facts to do mental division.
 Think of a basic division facts if the dividend and the divisor are compatible numbers.
 Then, annex the zero in the dividend to the quotient.

90 63 ÷ 7 = 9
7 630

 Thus, 630 ÷ 7 = 90
Answer: There will be 90 mangoes in each basket.

Let’s try another one!

Divide 231 by 7.

Study the solution.

231 ÷ 7 = (210 ÷ 7 ) + (21 ÷ 7 )

30 + 3

33
 Since we cannot see easily basic division facts, we can rename the dividend in such a
way that the renamed dividend is compatible with 7.
 Thus, 231 ÷ 7 = 33
GUIDED PRACTICE

Think of the basic facts you should remember to find each quotient. Give the answers orally.

1. 279 ÷ 9
2. 150 ÷ 5
3. 2400 ÷ 6
4. 4900÷ 7
5. 3255 ÷ 7
6. 4986 ÷ 9

THINK AND ANSWER

Divide mentally. Give the answers orally.

1. 318 ÷ 6
2. 400 ÷ 8
3. 3693 ÷ 3
4. A scout master has a 174- meter piece of rope. How many 6- meter long pieces can be cut
from it?
5. There are 360 books to be distributed equally among 4 classes. How many books will be
given to each class?

APPLY YOUR SKILLS

Solve the following problems mentally.

1. How many fours are there in 8448?


2. The 342 Grade Four pupils were divided into 9 equal groups to participate in a dance
contest. How many pupils were there in each group?
3. If the dividend is 1638 and the divisor is 7, what is the quotient?
4. Ben and Louie harvested 1072 apple fruits. They placed them equally in 8 baskets. How
many apple fruits were in each basket?
