Division
A method to solve division problems is called 'short hand division', for example:
To divide '426 ÷ 2'
The calculation is arranged within a division bracket:
We then work out how many times 2 goes into each digit, starting at the right and putting each answer on the top line:
Therefore, 426 ÷ 2 = 213
When the numbers do not divide exactly they will need to be carried over, for example:
To divide '3575 ÷ 5'
The 5 will not go into 3, so we carry the 3.
5 into 35 goes 7 times exactly, so nothing is carried
5 into 7 goes once with 2 remainder
5 into 25 goes 5 times exactly
Therefore, 3575 ÷ 5 = 715
