Step-by-step solution for: Divide 3 digit numbers by 1 digit - Division Maths Worksheets for ...
Let’s solve each problem step by step using short division (also called the “bus stop” method). We’ll divide the 3-digit number by the 1-digit divisor and write the quotient with any remainder as a whole number.
We’ll go one by one:
---
1. 236 ÷ 3
- 3 into 2 → can’t do, so take 23
- 3 × 7 = 21 → subtract: 23 - 21 = 2
- Bring down 6 → makes 26
- 3 × 8 = 24 → subtract: 26 - 24 = 2
→ Quotient: 78, Remainder: 2
✔ Answer: 78 r2
---
2. 488 ÷ 3
- 3 into 4 → 1, remainder 1
- Bring down 8 → 18
- 3 × 6 = 18 → remainder 0
- Bring down 8 → 8
- 3 × 2 = 6 → remainder 2
→ Quotient: 162, Remainder: 2
✔ Answer: 162 r2
---
3. 516 ÷ 3
- 3 into 5 → 1, rem 2
- Bring down 1 → 21
- 3 × 7 = 21 → rem 0
- Bring down 6 → 6
- 3 × 2 = 6 → rem 0
→ Quotient: 172, Remainder: 0
✔ Answer: 172
---
4. 609 ÷ 3
- 3 into 6 → 2
- Bring down 0 → 0
- 3 × 0 = 0
- Bring down 9 → 9
- 3 × 3 = 9
→ Quotient: 203, Remainder: 0
✔ Answer: 203
---
5. 428 ÷ 4
- 4 into 4 → 1
- Bring down 2 → 2 < 4 → write 0 in quotient
- Bring down 8 → 28
- 4 × 7 = 28
→ Quotient: 107, Remainder: 0
✔ Answer: 107
---
6. 538 ÷ 4
- 4 into 5 → 1, rem 1
- Bring down 3 → 13
- 4 × 3 = 12 → rem 1
- Bring down 8 → 18
- 4 × 4 = 16 → rem 2
→ Quotient: 134, Remainder: 2
✔ Answer: 134 r2
---
7. 722 ÷ 4
- 4 into 7 → 1, rem 3
- Bring down 2 → 32
- 4 × 8 = 32 → rem 0
- Bring down 2 → 2 < 4 → write 0? Wait — we already used all digits? No, last digit is 2.
Actually: after 32, bring down 2 → 2
- 4 into 2 → 0, rem 2
Wait — let's redo carefully:
Step-by-step:
- 4 into 7 → 1, write 1 above 7, 4×1=4, subtract → 3
- Bring down 2 → 32
- 4 into 32 → 8, write 8 above 2, 4×8=32, subtract → 0
- Bring down 2 → now we have 2
- 4 into 2 → 0, but since it’s the last digit, we write 0 in quotient? Actually no — in short division, you just note the remainder.
So: 722 ÷ 4 = 180 with remainder 2? Let’s check: 4 × 180 = 720, 722 - 720 = 2 → yes.
But wait — when dividing 722 by 4:
Actually, better way:
Divide hundreds: 7 ÷ 4 = 1 rem 3 → carry 3 to tens → 32
Tens: 32 ÷ 4 = 8 → exact
Units: 2 ÷ 4 = 0 rem 2
So quotient is 180, remainder 2.
✔ Answer: 180 r2

8. 917 ÷ 4
- 4 into 9 → 2, rem 1 (4×2=8)
- Bring down 1 → 11
- 4 into 11 → 2, rem 3 (4×2=8)
- Bring down 7 → 37
- 4 into 37 → 9, rem 1 (4×9=36)
→ Quotient: 229, Remainder: 1
✔ Answer: 229 r1
---

✔ Answer: 99 r4
---
13. 624 ÷ 6
- 6 into 6 → 1
- Bring down 2 → 2 < 6 → write 0? Or skip? In short division, we put 0 in quotient if needed.
Actually:
- 6 into 6 → 1
- Bring down 2 → 2 → 6 doesn’t go into 2 → write 0 in quotient

- Bring down 2 → 32

- Bring down 2 → 2 < 4 → write 0? Wait — we already used all digits? No, last digit is 2.
Actually: after 32, bring down 2 → 2

Wait — let's redo carefully:
Step-by-step:

So: 722 ÷ 4 = 180 with remainder 2? Let’s check: 4 × 180 = 720, 722 - 720 = 2 → yes.
But wait — when dividing 722 by 4:
Actually, better way:
Divide hundreds: 7 ÷ 4 = 1 rem 3 → carry 3 to tens → 32
Tens: 32 ÷ 4 = 8 → exact
Units: 2 ÷ 4 = 0 rem 2
So quotient is 180, remainder 2.
