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

1 b. 45 ) 765
How many times does 45 go into 765?
First, look at 76 (first two digits of 765).
45 goes into 76 once → 45 × 1 = 45
Subtract: 76 - 45 = 31
Bring down the 5 → now we have 315
Now, how many times does 45 go into 315?
45 × 7 = 315 → perfect!
So total is 1 and then 7 →
17
✔ 765 ÷ 45 =
17

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

2 a. 92 ) 828
How many times does 92 go into 828?
Try 92 × 9 = 828 → yes!
✔ 828 ÷ 92 =
9
---
2 b. 12 ) 624
How many times does 12 go into 624?
12 × 50 = 600
624 - 600 = 24
12 × 2 = 24 → so 50 + 2 = 52
✔ 624 ÷ 12 =
52
---
2 c. 42 ) 966
How many times does 42 go into 966?
Try 42 × 20 = 840
966 - 840 = 126
42 × 3 = 126 → so 20 + 3 = 23
✔ 966 ÷ 42 =
23

3 a. 10 ) 360
This is easy — divide by 10 means remove one zero.
360 ÷ 10 =
36
✔ Answer:
36

3 b. 42 ) 252
How many times does 42 go into 252?
42 × 6 = 252 → yes!
✔ 252 ÷ 42 =
6
---
3 c. 53 ) 318
How many times does 53 go into 318?
Try 53 × 6 = 318 → yes!
✔ 318 ÷ 53 =
6

Final Answer:
1a: 3
1b: 17
1c: 14
2a: 9
2b: 52
2c: 23
3a: 36
3b: 6
3c: 6
