  3. 172 ÷ 5 (How many sets of 5 in 172?) 5 172 3 5 1 7 2 2 (We say 17 ÷ 5 = 3 r 2. Carry the 2 over) 3 4 r 2 5 1 7 2 (We say 22 ÷ 5 = 4 r 2.) So, 172 ÷ 5 = 34 remainder 2

  4. 584 ÷ 26 (How many sets of 26 in 584?) 26 584 2 26 5 8 4 6 ( We say 58 ÷ 26 = 2 r 6. Carry the 6 over 2 2 r 12 26 5 8 4 ( We say 64 ÷ 26 = 2 r 12. So, 584 ÷ 26 = 22 remainder 12

  5. So much quicker! However, you must remember to set out your calculation carefully. Make sure the hundreds, tens and units re all in the correct columns or it could go wrong. You could always check your work by chunking.
