11. Use Basic Math Facts to Find the Quotient
1 zero in the quotient
1 - 0 = 1 1 1
30 ÷ 5 = 6
30 ÷ 5 = 6
Step 1: Find and solve the basic math fact.
Step 2: Count the zeros outside of the boxes in the dividend and divisor, then subtract.
Step 4: The difference tells you how many zeros to place in your quotient
