Mathematics
Quarter 2 – Module 11(a):
Dividing 2- to 3-Digit Numbers
by 1-Digit Numbers
Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our
dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home.
Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are
carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall
guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson
prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on
lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on
completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or
your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson.
At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-
test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each
activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the
Teacher are also provided to our facilitators and parents for
strategies and reminders on how they can best help you on your
home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary
marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in
answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions
carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in
answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your
teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is

here to help you master the skill in dividing 2- to 3-digit numbers by
1-digit number without or with remainder. The scope of this
module permits it to be used in many different learning situations.
The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of
students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them
can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now
using.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
 divide 2- to 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers without or
with remainder.

Enjoy your journey. Good luck!

 Divides 2- to 3-Digit Numbers
Lesson by 1-Digit Numbers without
or with Remainder

Counting and computing numbers have been part of your

day to day activities at home or in school. In this module, you will
learn how to divide 2- to 3-digit numbers with 1-digit number
without or with regrouping.

What’s In

Before we proceed to the main course of our lesson, let us

first check your mastery on the previous lesson on dividing one to
two-digit number by one-digit number.

Activity 1
Supply the missing number to complete the division sentence.
1. 7 ÷ 7= ___
2. 6 ÷ ___= 3
3. 28 ÷ 4 = ___
4. 48 ÷ 8 = ___
5. ___ ÷ 9 = 7

4
 What’s New

In Activity 1, notice that the quotients are all whole numbers.

This means that the dividend can be divided by its divisor into
exact whole number. This kind of division process is called dividing
without remainder.
Remainder is the amount left over after dividing a number by
a divisor. A remainder is always lesser than the divisor. Below is an
example of dividing numbers with remainder.
Example: 9 ÷ 2 = ?
Solution:
Visualizing the division fact using boxes,

After crossing 4 pairs of boxes, the remaining 1 box is called

the remainder.
So, we write 9 ÷ 2 = 4 remainder 1 or 9 ÷ 2 = 4 r. 1.
We write “r.” for short of the word “remainder”.

Activity 2
Divide the following by visualization.
1. 5 ÷ 2 = ________

2. 17 ÷ 3 = _______

3. 30 ÷ 4 = _______

5
 What is It

We solved the division facts in Activity 2 through visualization.

What if the numbers to be divided involves a large number
like 2- to 3-digit numbers? Is dividing by visualizing still applicable?
The answer is yes but obviously difficult because the larger
the number the harder to visualize.
In dividing whole numbers which involves large numbers, we
use the Long Division.
The following cycle are the steps for long division:
Step 1. Divide
Step 2. Multiply
Step 3. Subtract
Step 4. Bring Down
The cycle will only stop when the value in step 4 is lesser than
the divisor.
Example: Divide 478 by 3.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the division sentence using the symbol “ ”.
Place the dividend inside the symbol and the divisor on its left.
3 478 read as “478 divided by 3”
Divide the leftmost digit of the dividend to the divisor.
1
3 478 4 ÷ 3 = 1 r.1
Place the whole number quotient above

6
Step 2: Multiply the partial quotient and the divisor and write the
answer right below the digit.
1
3 478 1x3=3
3
Step 3: Subtract the product from the leftmost digit.
1
3 478 4-3=1
- 3___
1
Step 4: Bring down the next to the right.

3 478
- 3___

Repeat the cycle (divide – multiply – subtract – bring down) until all
the digits in the dividend are used up.
15
Divide 3 478 17 ÷ 3 = 5 r.2
- 3___

Multiply 3 478 5 x 3 = 15
- 3___

Answer: 478 ÷ 3 = 159 r.1

Another Example: 87 ÷ 3 = ?
Solution:
Doing the cycle (divide – multiply – subtract – bring down),

0 without remainder
Answer: 87 ÷ 3 = 29

1. 54 ÷ 8 = ________

2. 76 ÷ 4 = ________

 What I Have Learned

The steps in dividing 2-to-3- digit numbers by 1-digit numbers

using long division method are the following:
Step 1: Divide the digit/s by the divisor. Write the partial
quotient right above the dividend.
Step 2: Multiply the partial quotient and the divisor and write
the answer right below the digit.
Step 3: Subtract
Step 4: Bring down the next or last digit.
Repeat the previous steps (divide – multiply – subtract – bring
down) until all the digits in the dividend are used up.
The quotient is the number above the long division symbol
and the remainder is the last value in step 4.
