Guide to Division: Explanation, Diagrams & Worked Examples

Explanation:

Use the short division (“bus stop”) method to divide by a whole number. Work from left to right, dividing each digit by the divisor and carrying any remainder onto the next digit. If there is a remainder at the end, add a decimal point and trailing zeros (.00) to continue dividing.

When dividing by a decimal, never put a decimal outside the bus stop. Write the division as a fraction and multiply both numbers by 10, 100, or 1000 until the divisor is a whole number, then divide as normal.

Example 1: Work out 4536 ÷ 7

Solution:

Set up the bus stop: 7 ) 4 45 33 56
• 7 into 4 = 0 remainder 4 (carry 4 to make 45)
• 7 into 45 = 6 remainder 3 (carry 3 to make 33)
• 7 into 33 = 4 remainder 5 (carry 5 to make 56)
• 7 into 56 = 8 remainder 0
Answer: 648

Example 2: Work out 14.4 ÷ 0.06

Solution:

Write as a fraction and multiply top & bottom by 100:
14.40.06 × 100100 = 14406
Now divide 1440 by 6 using the bus stop:
• 14 ÷ 6 = 2 r 2;  24 ÷ 6 = 4;  0 ÷ 6 = 0
Answer: 240

Use the table to answer the following questions.
(a) Work out 3843 ÷ 63 [1 mark]
(b) Work out 6.1 × 6.7 [1 mark]
(c) Work out 63 × 66 [2 marks]
Worked Solution & Mark Scheme (4 marks)
Part (a) Solution:
From table, 61 × 63 = 3843, so 3843 ÷ 63 = 61 B1
Answer (a): Answer 61
Part (b) Solution:
61 × 67 = 4087 ⇒ 6.1 × 6.7 = 40.87 B1
Answer (b): Answer 40.87
Part (c) Solution:
63 × 66 = 63 × 65 + 63 = 4095 + 63 = 4158 M1 A1
Answer (c): Answer 4158
Past Paper Example 2 GCSE Nov 2017 1F Q11 3 marks
There are 30 children in a nursery school.
At least 1 adult is needed for every 8 children in the nursery.
(a) Work out the least number of adults needed in the nursery. [2 marks]
(b) Does this mean that more adults are needed in the nursery?

[1 mark]
Worked Solution & Mark Scheme (3 marks)
Part (a) Solution:
30 ÷ 8 = 3.75 → 4 adults M1 A1
Answer (a): 4
Part (b) Solution:
30 + 2 = 32 and 32 ÷ 8 = 4 adults C1
Answer (b): No, because 4 adults can look after up to 32 children (4 × 8 = 32)
Past Paper Example 3 GCSE Nov 2022 1F Q10 3 marks
A shop sells jars of coffee.

Michael has £23
(a) Work out the greatest number of jars of coffee Michael can buy. [2 marks]
(b) Is Michael correct?

[1 mark]
Worked Solution & Mark Scheme (3 marks)
Part (a) Solution:
23 ÷ 4 = 5 r 3 → 5 jars M1 A1
Answer (a): 5
Part (b) Solution:
At £2 per jar, 23 ÷ 2 = 11.5 → 11 jars (not 10) C1
Answer (b): No, he can buy 11 jars (23 ÷ 2 = 11.5), which is more than twice 5
