1 a. 117 ÷ 39
How many times does 39 go into 117?
Try:
39 × 2 = 78 → too small
39 × 3 = 117 → perfect!
✔ Answer:
3

1 b. 765 ÷ 45
Step 1: How many times does 45 go into 76?
45 × 1 = 45
45 × 2 = 90 → too big → so, 1 time
Write down 1 above the 6 (in 76).
Subtract: 76 - 45 = 31
Bring down the 5 → now we have 315
Step 2: How many times does 45 go into 315?
45 × 7 = 315 → perfect!
So total is 17.
✔ Answer:
17

1 c. 210 ÷ 15
How many times does 15 go into 210?
15 × 10 = 150
15 × 4 = 60 → 150 + 60 = 210 → so 10 + 4 = 14
Or: 15 × 14 = 210
✔ Answer:
14

2 a. 828 ÷ 92
Try multiplying 92:
92 × 9 = 828 → exactly!
✔ Answer:
9

2 b. 624 ÷ 12
Break it down:
12 × 50 = 600
624 - 600 = 24
12 × 2 = 24
So 50 + 2 = 52
✔ Answer:
52

2 c. 966 ÷ 42
Try 42 × 20 = 840
966 - 840 = 126
42 × 3 = 126
So 20 + 3 = 23
✔ Answer:
23
