Divided : 100 / 10 = 10 10 / 10 = 1 1 / 1 =1 You Take Away The Zeros/Add a decimal point. To divide in general, you see how many times one number can be put into another. (Eg. 50/5 = 10) 50/5 - To divide 50 by 5, you must see how many times 5 can be put into 50. You can count up to 50 in 5's: 5 (1), 10 (2), 15 (3), 20 (4), 25 (5), 30 (6), 35 (7), 40 (8), 45 (9), 50 (10). This means that the answer for 50/5 is 10. To divide a 2 didgit number by 1 didgit numbers, "you see how many times one number can be put into another.". If you mean to divide a 1 didgit number by a 2 didgit number, a possible way would be like this: ___ 60|5 (60/5) 0. As 60 does not go into 5, we write "0." as part of the answer. We also change the "5" into a "50" Now we can work out 60/5. 10x 50 < This now means we write 0.12 (12x) --------- 10 2x 10 We add the "--x" together, (10x + 2x), --------- "10 + 2". 0 This gives us "12" We now put that 12 after the decimal point. 0.12. This is the answer. This method is referred to as "chunking".

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
