Quarter 2 – Module 11(a):
Dividing 2- to 3-Digit Numbers
by1-Digit Numbers
Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear
learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home.
Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully
stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide

you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson
prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on

lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on
completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your
teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the
end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-
check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity
and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the

Teacher are also provided to our facilitators and parents for
strategies and reminders on how they can best help you on your
home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary

marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in
answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions
carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in

answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your
teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.
 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here
to help you master on dividing 2- to 3-digit numbers by 1-digitnumber
without or with remainder. The scope of this module permits it to be
used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the
order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with
the textbook you are now using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

 divide 2- to 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers without orwith
remainder (M3NS-IIg-51.3).

Enjoy your journey. Good luck!

 Divides 2- to 3-digit Numbers
Lesson1
by 1-digit Numbers withoutor
with Remainder

Counting and computing numbers have been part of your

day to day activities at home or in school. In this module, you will
learn how to divide 2- to 3-digit numbers with 1-digit number without or
with regrouping.

What’s In

Before we proceed to the main course of our lesson, let us first

check your mastery on the previous lesson on dividing one totwo-
digit number by one-digit number.

Activity 1
Supply the missing number to complete the division sentence.
Write your answer on your notebook or on a separate answer
sheet.

1. 7 ÷ 7=
2. 6 ÷ =3
3. 28 ÷ 4 =
4. 48 ÷ 8 =
5. ÷9=7

 What’s New

In Activity 1, notice that the quotient are all whole numbers.

This means that the dividend can be divided by its divisor into exact
whole number. These kind of division processes are calledas dividing
without remainder.
Remainder is the amount left over after dividing a number by a
divisor. A remainder is always lesser than the divisor. Below is an example
of dividing numbers with remainder.
Example: 9 ÷ 2 = ?
Solution:
Visualizing the division fact using boxes,

After crossing 4 pairs of boxes, the remaining 1 box is calledthe

remainder.
So, we write 9 ÷ 2 = 4 remainder 1 or 9 ÷ 2 = 4 r. 1.We write
“r.” for short of the word “remainder”.

Activity 2
Divide the following by visualization. Write your answer on your
notebook or on a separate answer sheet.
1. 5 ÷ 2 =

2. 17 ÷ 3 =

3. 30 ÷ 4 =

4 CO_Q2_Mathematics 3_ Module11a
 What is It

We solved the division facts in Activity 2 through visualization.

What if the numbers to be divided involves large number like 2- to 3-
digit numbers? Is dividing by visualizing still applicable?

The answer is yes but obviously difficult because the largerthe

number the harder to visualize.

In dividing whole numbers which involve large numbers, weuse

the Long Division.

The following cycle are the steps for long division:Step 1.

Divide

Step 2. Multiply

Step 3. Subtract

Step 4. Bring Down

The cycle will only stop when the value in step 4 is lesser thanthe
divisor.
Example: Divide 478 by 3.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the division sentence using the symbol “ ”.

Place the dividend inside the symbol and the divisor on its left.
3 478 read as “478 divided by 3”

Divide the leftmost digit of the dividend to the divisor.

3 478 4 ÷ 3 = 1 r.1
Place the whole number quotient above

5 CO_Q2_Mathematics 3_ Module11a
Step 2: Multiply the partial quotient and the divisor and write theanswer
right below the digit.

 What’s More

Activity 3
Find the quotient. Show your solution in your notebook.
1. 54 ÷ 8 =

3. 331 ÷ 7 =
4. 502 ÷ 5 =
5. 912 ÷ 3 =

What I Have Learned

The steps in dividing 2-to-3- digit numbers by 1-digit numbersusing

long division method are the following:
Step 1: Divide the digit/s by the divisor. Write the partialquotient
right above the dividend.

Step 2: Multiply the partial quotient and the divisor and writethe
answer right below the digit.

Step 3: Subtract
Step 4: Bring down the next or last digit.
Repeat the previous steps (divide – multiply – subtract – bring
down) until all the digits in the dividend are used up.
The quotient is the number above the long division symbol
and the remainder is the last value in step 4.
