Let’s solve each division problem step by step. Remember, we’re dividing without any remainder — that means the answer will be a whole number with nothing left over.

Problem 1: 278 ÷ 2
We’ll use long division.
- How many times does 2 go into 2? → 1 time. Write 1 above the first digit.
- Multiply 1 × 2 = 2. Subtract from 2 → 0.
- Bring down the next digit: 7.
- How many times does 2 go into 7? → 3 times (because 3×2=6). Write 3 above the 7.
- Subtract 6 from 7 → 1.
- Bring down the next digit: 8 → now you have 18.
- How many times does 2 go into 18? → 9 times (9×2=18). Write 9 above the 8.
- Subtract 18 - 18 = 0. No remainder!
So, 278 ÷ 2 =
139

Problem 2: 903 ÷ 3
Long division again.
- 3 goes into 9 → 3 times. Write 3 above the 9.
- 3 × 3 = 9. Subtract → 0.
- Bring down 0.
- 3 goes into 0 → 0 times. Write 0 above the 0.
- Bring down 3.
- 3 goes into 3 → 1 time. Write 1 above the 3.
- 1 × 3 = 3. Subtract → 0.
So, 903 ÷ 3 =
301

Problem 3: 515 ÷ 5
- 5 goes into 5 → 1 time. Write 1 above the first 5.
- 1 × 5 = 5. Subtract → 0.
- Bring down 1.
- 5 goes into 1? Not even once → write 0 above the 1.
- Bring down the next 5 → now you have 15.
- 5 goes into 15 → 3 times. Write 3 above the last 5.
- 3 × 5 = 15. Subtract → 0.
So, 515 ÷ 5 =
103

Problem 4: 753 ÷ 3
- 3 goes into 7 → 2 times (2×3=6). Write 2 above the 7.
- Subtract 6 from 7 → 1.
- Bring down 5 → now you have 15.
- 3 goes into 15 → 5 times. Write 5 above the 5.
- 5 × 3 = 15. Subtract → 0.
- Bring down 3.
- 3 goes into 3 → 1 time. Write 1 above the 3.
- 1 × 3 = 3. Subtract → 0.
So, 753 ÷ 3 =
251
