1. PARTIAL QUOTIENT DIVISION
DIVIDING A 3-DIGIT NUMBER BY A 1-DIGIT NUMBER

2. STEP 1
WRITING THE PROBLEM

3. HERE WE GO! WHEN WRITING 642 DIVIDED BY 4...
4 IS THE DIVISOR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DIVISION 'HOUSE'

4. TAKE NOTE!
IT'S OFTEN BETTER FOR BEGINNERS TO USE BENCHMARK NUMBERS, LIKE MULTIPLES OF 2, 5, & 10

5. LET'S SEE HERE...
WELL, THE 6 IS IN THE HUNDREDS PLACE, SO...CAN I USE 100?

6. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
SINCE 4 TIMES 100 IS NOT GREATER THAN 600, WE CAN USE 100 AS A PARTIAL QUOTIENT

7. MULTIPLY AND SUBTRACT
100 x 4 = 400
= 242

8. MOVING ON... 2 is in the 100's place, but...
100 x 4 is greater than 200, so...
Better go with 50
50 x 4 = 200
That'll work

9. MULTIPLY AND SUBTRACT AGAIN
50 x 4 = 200
= 42
50 is your second partial quotient
4 is in the 10's place...
4 x 10 = 40, which is less than 42

10. SUBTRACT AGAIN 42 - 40 = 2 4 WON'T DIVIDE INTO 2, SO...
WE'RE ALMOST DONE...
2 IS GOING TO BE THE REMAINDER

11. WHAT ABOUT THE PARTIAL QUOTIENTS?
Okay, add up the partial quotients
You get 160

12. WRAPPING IT UP 160 IS THE QUOTIENT 2 IS THE REMAINDER
642 DIVIDED BY 4 = 160 R2

13. THAT WAS DIVIDING WITH PARTIAL QUOTIENTS
THIS IS A PICTURE OF YOU GETTING OUT OF BED
