- Divide: 3 by 3.
- Multiply: What number multiplied by 3 (divisor) will get me close to 3 or to
3?
Now multiply the divisor (3) by the second digit in the quotient
(1). 3 x 1 = 3.
Write the answer underneath the digit 3 that you are subtracting.
So, we write the digit 1 (in the quotient) above the digit 3.
- Bring down:
Now bring down the next digit in the dividend. Don't have any more
digits? Then your answer is complete.
So, 63 divided by 3 = 21.
