<h1 class="center">Long Division - Organized Guessing</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>So, how does Long Division work?</p>
|
||
<p>It works by breaking up the big number
|
||
and solving it a section at a time.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2>Thousands, Hundreds, ...</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>To illustrate, let us try guessing the answer to <b>7,698 ÷ 6</b>,
|
||
but following a special method.</p>
|
||
<p>We will start at the thousands, then move to the hundreds, then tens,
|
||
then ones.</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>OK, starting at the <font color="blue">thousands:</font> How many <font color="blue">6
|
||
lots of a thousand</font> can we fit into <b>7,698</b> ? Well, just one, really.
|
||
Two is too much:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="simple">
|
||
|
||
|
||
<table align="center" cellpadding="6" border="0">
|
||
<tbody>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td><b>1</b>,000 x 6 = 6,000</td>
|
||
<td>too small</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td><b>2</b>,000 x 6 = 12,000</td>
|
||
<td>too big</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</tbody></table> </div>
|
||
<p>We have made progress of sorts. We can guess that the answer is between
|
||
1,000 and 2,000.</p>
|
||
<p>Now let's move onto the hundreds. Let's add a hundred at a time:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="simple">
|
||
<table align="center" cellpadding="6" border="0">
|
||
<tbody>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>1,<b>1</b>00 x 6 = 6,600</td>
|
||
<td>too small</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>1,<b>2</b>00 x 6 = 7,200</td>
|
||
<td>too small</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>1,<b>3</b>00 x 6 = 7,800</td>
|
||
<td>too big</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</tbody></table></div>
|
||
<p>So, somewhere between 1,200 and 1,300.</p>
|
||
<p>Let's move on to the tens:</p>
|
||
<div class="simple">
|
||
<table align="center" cellpadding="6" border="0">
|
||
<tbody>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>1,2<b>1</b>0 x 6 = 7,260</td>
|
||
<td>too small</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>1,2<b>2</b>0 x 6 = 7,320</td>
|
||
<td>too small</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>
|
||
1,2<b>3</b>0 x 6 = ...</td>
|
||
<td> </td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</tbody></table></div>
|
||
|
||
<p class="large">Stop! All this multiplying is <b>taking too long</b> ...</p>
|
||
<div class="indent50px">
|
||
<p class="large">...there should be an easier way</p></div>
|
||
<p>At the start, when we worked on the thousands, why not chop off what we know already?</p>
|
||
<p>We could chop off 1,000 x 6 = 6,000 and get:</p>
|
||
<div class="beach">
|
||
<table align="center" cellpadding="6" border="0">
|
||
<tbody>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>Answer so far</td>
|
||
<td>Number left</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>1,000 x 6 = 6,000</td>
|
||
<td><b>7,698 − 6,000 = 1,698</b></td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</tbody></table></div>
|
||
<p>Now (remembering we have chopped off 1,000 x 6) we can continue, but we work on <b>1,698</b> now.</p>
|
||
<div class="beach">
|
||
<table align="center" cellpadding="6" border="0">
|
||
<tbody>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>Guesses</td>
|
||
<td>Compared to <b>1,698</b></td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td><b>1</b>00 x 6 = 600</td>
|
||
<td>too small</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td><b>2</b>00 x 6 = 1,200</td>
|
||
<td>too small</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td><b>3</b>00 x 6 = 1,800</td>
|
||
<td>too big</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</tbody></table></div>
|
||
<p>Now we can take <b>2</b>00 x 6 = 1,200 from 1,698: 1,698 − 1200 = 498</p>
|
||
<p>And now we are only working on 498 ...</p>
|
||
<p>We can continue like this, following this idea:</p>
|
||
<p class="center"><b> <font class="large" size="+1">Don't work on the entire number every time,<br>
|
||
just work
|
||
on whatever is left.</font></b></p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2>Let's try the whole thing from the start, working neatly:</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="center">Start with <b>7,698</b></p>
