To divide a 4-digit number by a two digit number, follow the instructions below slowly, making sure you understandeach step.
NOTE: PLEASE TRY TO IGNORE THE .... PRECEDING ALL MY EXAMPLES BELOW, I COULD NOT FIND ANY WAY TO CORRECTLY FORMAT THE EXAMPLES WITH SPACES! (I tried to use quoted text, and that didn't work, if anyone could find a way to correct this, that would be good!!!)
Example numbers: divide 34 into 4556
1. See if the first two digits of the 4 digit number is greater or less than the two digit number;
2. if they're greater, proceed to step 2a; if they're NOT, skip to step #3: (yes, 45 is greater than 34)
2a. then see how many times the two digit number goes into those first two digits of the 4-digit number, and put that answer above the second digit of the 4-digit number you're dividing into; (there's no more than one 34 in 45, so put 1 above the 5 in 45);
........... 1
34 into 4556
2b. then multiply that answer times the two digit number you're dividing by, and put the result under the first two digits of the 4-digit number, and subtract it from those first two digits of the 4-digit number (1 x 34 = 34; 45 - 34 = 11);
........... 1
34 into 4556
..........34
..........---
..........11
2c. bring the third-digit of the 4-digit number down to the end of the result of your subtraction above, to make a new number (it will either be now a 2 or 3 digit number, depending on how many digits were in the result of your subtraction) ( 5 after 45 brought down to after 11 gives 115);
........... 1
34 into 4556
..........34
..........---
..........115
2d. repeat step #1 above, with regard to the 2 or 3 digit number you got in the step above, step 2c;
2e. if it's greater, do step 2a on it, placing the result above the third digit of the 4-digit number (yes, 115 is greater than 34, and 34 goes into 115 no more than 3 times, so put the 3 above the 2nd 5 in 4556);
........... 13
34 into 4556
..........34
..........---
..........115
2f. if the result of the subtraction turns out sometimes to be lesser, you'll have to follow the instructions below in step # 3;
2g. since 115 is greater than 34, repeat step 2b with the number you put above the third digit of the 4-digit number (3x34=102), and then repeat step 2c with the result of that multiplication (115 - 102 = 13);
........... 13
34 into 4556
..........34
..........---
..........115
..........102
..........----
............13
2h. now repeat step 2c, with the last digit in the 4-digit number (bring the 6 down to after the 13, giving 136):
........... 13
34 into 4556
..........34
..........---
..........115
..........102
..........----
............136
2i. now repeat step 1 with respect to the number you just got in step 2h (yes, 136 is greater than 34, so repeat step 2a (34 goes into 136 exactly 4 times, so write it above the last digit in the 4-digit number, write 4, above the 6);
........... 134
34 into 4556
..........34
..........---
..........115
..........102
..........----
............136
2j. now repeat 2b by multiplying the 4 you just got times the 34 you're dividing by, getting 136, and put it below the 136 you were dividing into, and subtract the two numbers, getting zero, no more numbers left, meaning that you're finished, the answer is 134:
........... 134 <-- the answer!
34 into 4556
..........34
..........---
..........115
..........102
..........----
............136
............136
............----
...............0 <-- indicates you're finished, no more number left!
(check your work: 34 x 134 = 4556, correct!)
3. if the test in step #1 results that the first two digits in the 4-digit number is LESS than the two digit number you want to divide into the 4-digit number, then you have to move over one digit in the 4-digit number, and begin to operate on the first THREE digits of the 4-digit number, like this:
example: divide 34 into 3162
the first two digits of the 4-digit number, 31, is smaller than 34, so begin to operate on the first three digits, 316
3a. see how many times 34 goes into 316, and put that answer above the third digit of the 4-digit number (there's no more than 9 34's in 316, so put 9 above the 6 in 3162):
......................9
divide 34 into 3162
3b. continue as in the parts of step 2 (9X34 = 306, place under 316):
......................9
divide 34 into 3162
...................306
...................----
3c. subtract 306 from 316, = 10, place under 306:
......................9
divide 34 into 3162
...................306
...................----
.....................10
3d. bring down the last digit of the 4-digit number, 2, put at the end of the 10 resulting from the above subtraction, giving 102:
......................9
divide 34 into 3162
...................306
...................----
.....................102
3e. divide 34 into 102, place the answer above the last digit of the 4-digit number (34 goes into 102 exactly 3 times):
......................93
divide 34 into 3162
...................306
...................----
.....................102
3f. multiply the 3 you just got times the 34 you're dividing by (3x34=102), place it under the 102 you divided into, subtract and get zero, indicating that you're through, and the answer is 93.
......................93 <-- answer!
divide 34 into 3162
................. .306
...................----
.....................102
.....................102
.....................----
.........................0 <-- indicates you're finished, no more number left!

NOTE: YOU CAN USE THIS SAME IDEA TO DIVIDE INTO MORE THAN 4-DIGIT NUMBERS, AND TO DIVIDE BY MORE THAN 2-DIGIT NUMBERS, you just have to follow the steps SIMILARLY.
Divide the two-digit number by the one-digit number. If the remainder is zero then the 2-digit number is a multiple and if not, it is not.
You see how many times the two digit number goes into the first two numbers then you will take them away and then you will get the third number and put it on the end of your answer then you will see how many times your two digit number goes into your new number and then you will get your answer. And by the way I am eleven and I am still in primary school so you should really know it. I can divide a two digit by a seventeen digit number and that ins easy peasy.
If you're referring to how to solve it manually (e.g. pencil and paper), you'd simply add zeroes to the dividend (the number being divided into) and a decimal to the quotient (the answer) at the point the zeros were added.
20 if you divide by 17. 19 if you divide by 16. 18 if you divide by 15, 17 if you divide by 14. And so on. In fact any number from 10 to 99. That is, every two digit number.
75
Divide the two-digit number by the one-digit number. If the remainder is zero then the 2-digit number is a multiple and if not, it is not.
No, when you add a two-digit number to another two-digit number, the largest sum you can get is 99 + 99 = 198, which is a three-digit number. In order to get a four-digit number, you would need to add at least a three-digit number to another three-digit number, such as 100 + 100 = 200.
Yes.
No You Divide All The 3 numbers by the two and do the math and that's your answer.
You do fish hook. Then you just do normal division
To divide a single digit number by a double digit number,you first have to understand its obviously isn't easy. The following should help: *Put a zero on the area of the quotient and add a decimal point next to it. * After doing this,divide as if both numbers were two digit numbers and proceed You should get the answer.
You see how many times the two digit number goes into the first two numbers then you will take them away and then you will get the third number and put it on the end of your answer then you will see how many times your two digit number goes into your new number and then you will get your answer. And by the way I am eleven and I am still in primary school so you should really know it. I can divide a two digit by a seventeen digit number and that ins easy peasy.

Divide the 2-digit number by the 1-digit number. If the quotient comes out a whole number, then the big one is a multiple of the small one.
Oh, dude, dividing two digits by three digits is like, totally easy. You just, like, do long division. You put the three-digit number outside the division house, the two-digit number inside, and then you, like, divide and stuff. It's not rocket science, man. Just remember to carry the one if you have to, or whatever.
20 if you divide by 17. 19 if you divide by 16. 18 if you divide by 15, 17 if you divide by 14. And so on. In fact any number from 10 to 99. That is, every two digit number.
