  1. How Can We Use Patterns to Divide Multiples of 10?

  2. When you divide multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 knowing your basic facts and place-value patterns can help you find the answer.

  3. Let’s find out how. Dividend Quotient 54 ÷ 9=6 540÷ 9 = 60 5,400 ÷ 9 = 600 ÷ 2 = 5 100 ÷ 2= 50 1000 ÷ 2 = 500 • What is the pattern in the dividends and the quotients?  (Both terms are ten times greater than those in the line above.) • How do the zeros show the pattern? (There is one more zero in the dividend and the quotient each time.)

  4. Let’s look at another example. What would 9000 ÷ 9 be? Let’s complete the pattern to find out. 9 ÷ 9 =1 (This is the basic fact; the root of the problem) 90÷ 9= 10 (Adding one zero to the dividend means we add one zero the quotient. This makes it ten times greater than the basic fact 9 ÷ 1. 900÷ 9 = 100 (Adding two zeros to the dividend means we should add two zeros to the quotient. This makes it ten times greater than the previous equation and a hundred times greater than our first equation, or our basic fact.) 1,000 So 9,000÷ 9=

  5. Can you explain why? 9,000 ÷ 9=1,000 because…

  6. Be Careful… If there is already a zero in the dividend of the basic fact, then the number of zeros in the quotient won’t be the same. There will be one less zero. Example: 3000 ÷ 6 = _____ 30 ÷ 6 = 5 (This is the basic fact.) 300 ÷ 6 = 50 So, 3000 ÷ 6= 500

  7. Here’s another way to look at dividing multiples of 10. Find 240 ÷ 6. So, 240 ÷ 6 is 24 tens divided equally into 6 groups. That’s 4 tens in each group or 40.) Once again, think of the basic fact. 24÷ 6=4 (24 ones divided equally amongst 6 groups is 4 ones in each group.)

  8. Try drawing this using base ten blocks.

  9. What if there are zeros in the dividendand the divisor? Example: 360 ÷ 60 = ______ What do you think?
