Using Patterns to Divide 4-1 You can use division basic facts and patterns with zeros to help you divide. 560 people are coming to Sen s parents anniversary party. Each table seats 8 people. How many tables does Sen need? 4-1 You already know the basic fact 56 8 7. Since 560 = 56 tens using zero patterns, 56 tens 8 7 tens or 70. So, 560 8 70. Sen needs 70 tables for the guests at his parents anniversary party. In 1 through 9, find each quotient. Use mental math. 1. 360 9 = 2. 640 8 = 3. 2,400 4 = 4. 1,500 5 = 5. 30,000 60 = 6. 18,000 2 = 7. 2,800 400 = 8. 120,000 30 = 9. 21,000 700 = 10.

Estimating Quotients 4-2 You can estimate quotients by using compatible numbers. Carly picked 738 peaches off her peach tree. She filled 9 baskets with peaches. If each basket holds the same amount, about how many peaches are in each basket? Estimate 738 9. Find a compatible number for 738, and then divide. 4-2 738 9 720 9 80 So there are about 80 peaches in each basket. Another compatible number set you could use is: 700 10 70 So there are about 70 peaches in each basket. In both cases the estimate is less than the actual answer because the compatible numbers are less than 738. You know that the actual number of peaches in each basket will be greater than 70 or 80. For questions 1 6, estimate the quotients using compatible numbers. 1. 372 5 2. 614 2 3. 8,435 8 4. 536 23 5. 4,522 61 6. 9,863 26 Number Sense 7. If you estimate 342 7 by using 350 7 50, is 50 greater than or less than the exact answer? How did you decide? Is 50 an overestimate or an underestimate? 8. Weston s book has 427 pages.

Connecting Models and Symbols 4-3 Divide 138 equally into 3 groups. 4-3 Step 1: You can model 138 as 13 groups of 10 plus 8 ones. 130 3 40, so each group will get 4 groups of 10. 40 3 120 130 120 10, so there is 1 group of 10 left. What You Think What You Write 4 3 1 3 8 1 2 1 Step 2: There is 1 group of 10 plus 1 group of 8 ones left. 18 3 6, so each group will also get 6 ones. There is nothing left.

Dividing by 1-Digit Divisors 4-4 You can use your basic division facts to divide greater numbers. Find 64 4. Step 1: Estimate the quotient in order to find out how many digits the quotient will have. Step 2: Divide the tens by the divisor. 64 4 60 6 10 4-4 So, the quotient will have 2 digits. Step 3: Bring down the ones digit and continue dividing. 1 4 64 4 2 Step 4: Check your answer by multiplying. 16 4 64 4 1 4 subtract: 6 4 compare: 2 4 So, 64 4 16. 16 4 64 4 24 24 0 6 4 24 subtract: 24 24 0 compare: 0 4 In 1 through 6, find the quotient. Check your answer by multiplying. 1. 4 592 2. 5 335 3. 6 708 4. 3 282 5. 9 828 6. 2 976 7. Jin has 774 pennies in his collection. He has his collection stored in 9 coin books.

Zeros in the Quotient 4-5 Sometimes when you divide you will need to use a zero in the quotient as a placeholder. Find 1,842 6. Step 1: Estimate your quotient to see where to place the first digit in the quotient. 1,800 6 300 So, the first digit will be in the hundreds place. Step 2: Divide the hundreds. 3 6 1842 18 0 6 3 18 subtract: 18 18 0 compare: 0 6 4-5 Step 3: Bring down the tens digit and divide. 30 6 1842 18 04 You cannot divide 6 into 4. To continue dividing, you need to bring down the ones digit. But you need to use a zero as the placeholder for the tens place in the quotient. Step 5: Check by multiplying. 307 6 1,842 So, 1,842 6 307. Step 4: Bring down the ones digit and divide. 307 6 1842 18 042 42 0 6 7 42 subtract: 42 42 0 compare: 0 6 Tip: Whenever you have a section you cannot divide because the digit is less than the divisor, use a zero as a placeholder in the quotient. Bring down the next digit and continue dividing. In 1 through 3, find each quotient. 1. 4 2,480 2. 4 1,960 3. 9 7,263 4. Estimation Valley School District received 3,240 text books.

Dividing by 2-Digit Divisors 4-6 A roller coaster train holds 42 people. How many times must it run so that 354 people can ride? Find 354 42. Step 1: Estimate your quotient to decide where the first digit the quotient should be placed. 350 50 = 7 So, the quotient will start in the ones place. Step 2: Divide the ones. Multiply and subtract. 7 42 354 294 60 Try the number from the estimate. 7 42 294 354 294 60 compare: 60 is NOT 42 so you need to increase the number in the quotient. 8 42 354 336 18 8 42 336 354 336 18 compare: 18 42 4-6 Step 3: Since 18 42, you cannot divide anymore. This number is the remainder. 8 R18 42 354 336 18 In order for everyone to ride the roller coaster, the train will have to go 9 times because after 8 times, there are still 18 people left in line. In 1 through 3, find the quotient. Check by multiplying. 1. 95 256 2. 68 478 3. 49 367 4. On Thursday, an apple farmer produced 515 oz of apple juice. How many 64-oz cartons were filled?
