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

3. Division by One-digit Divisors
Today you will learn how to divide a three-digit and four-digit dividend by a one-digit divisor, to get a quotient without a remainder.
Let’s review these terms:

4. 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.

5. When we write the problem like this: 136  5 = 27 r 1
136 is the dividend
27 is the quotient
5 is the divisor
1 is the remainder
When we write the problem like this

6. When writing it like this:
136 5 27
r 1
1 is the remainder
5, the divisor, moves to here
27, the quotient, stays here
136, the dividend, moves here
