Divide

The document provides instructions for using the "family method" to divide multi-digit numbers by one-digit divisors without remainders. It explains the steps as Father (find), Mother (multiply), Sister (subtract), and Brother (bring down). It demonstrates the method through worked examples, such as dividing 711 by 3 to get a quotient of 237 without remainder. The document encourages students to practice the method on their worksheet and homework.

What are you doing when
you divide?
• When you divide, you • Dividing these 16 apples
are trying to split into 4 equal groups,
something into equally gives you 4 groups that
numbered groups have 4 apples in each of
the groups:
• Take these 16 apples:

Division by One-digit Divisors

• Today you will learn how to divide a


three-digit dividend by a one-digit
divisor, to get a quotient without a
remainder
• Let’s review these terms
What are the parts of a
division problem?
• The dividend is the number you are dividing
• The divisor is the number you are dividing by
• The quotient is the evenly divided result
• The remainder is what is left over that cannot
be evenly divided
When we write the problem
like this:
136  5 = 27 r 1

136 5 27 1
is the is the is the is the
dividend divisor quotient remainder
When writing it like this:
27 r 1 1 is the
5, the remainder
5 136
divisor, 27, the
moves 136, the quotient,
to here dividend, stays
moves here here
How do you solve a
division problem?
• Solving a division problem is a step by step
process

• The method we will learn today is based the


words for the people in our families.

• They are:

Father Mother Sister Brother


The “Family” Method
Father = Find

Mother = Multiply

Sister = Subtract

Brother = Bring Down


Father
• Father stands for find

• Start by looking at the first number in the dividend

• Find the multiple of the divisor that comes closest


to that number, without going higher

• Use your knowledge of math facts, or a


multiplication grid
Father = find the number closet to the first digit

2
3 711 2 6

• In the 3’s, the number


closest to 7, but not
more than 7, is 6
• The other factor is 2
• Put a 2 above the 7
Mother = multiply the number that is the
factor that you found times the divisor
2
• You found 2, multiply 3 711
it times the divisor, 3 6
• 2 times 3 equals 6
2X3=6

• Put a 6 under the 7


Sister = subtract the number you got by
multiplying the divisor,
from the number in the dividend

• You got a 6 when you multiplied 2


• Subtract 6 from 7
3 711
–6
• 7–6=1 1
• The difference must be smaller than the divisor!!!
Brother = bring down the next number,
from the number in the dividend

2
3 1
711
• Bring down the next number in –6
the dividend
11
• The new number you have is 11

• Now start over again with Father for the ten’s


Now, let’s do the second step

23
• Father: 9 is the closest multiple,
the other factor you found is 3 3 1
711
–6
• Mother: 3 X 3 = 9, put a 9 under
the 11 11
• Sister: subtract 9 from 11 –9
11- 9 = 2 21
• Brother: bring down the 1
Now, let’s do the last step
2 37
• Father: 21 is the closest 3 1
711
multiple, the other factor is 7
–6
• Mother: 7 X 3 = 21, put 21 under
the 21 11
–9
• Sister: subtract 21 from 21
21- 21 = 0 21
• Brother: nothing’s left, you’re done!
– 21
0
Now, let’s practice!

• Father 2
4 86
864
• Mother –8
06
• Sister

• Brother
Now, let’s do the second step

21
• Father
4 64
864
–8
• Mother
06
• Sister –4
24
• Brother
Now, let’s do the last step
2 16
• Father
4 6
864
–8
• Mother
06
• Sister
–4
24
• Brother – 24
0
What do I do with division now?

• Finish the rest of the worksheet
