Divide whole numbers – two-digit divisors

🔑 Key Concepts:

What is a Two-Digit Divisor?

A divisor with two digits (from 10 to 99).
Example: In 624 ÷ 24, the divisor is 24.

Division Terms Recap:

• Dividend: The number to be divided.
• Divisor: The number by which we divide.
• Quotient: The result of division.
• Remainder: What is left after division (if any).

📘 Steps to Divide with Two-Digit Divisors:

• Estimate: Round the divisor to a nearby number that is easy to divide with.
• Divide: See how many times the divisor goes into the dividend.
• Multiply: Multiply the divisor by the quotient.
• Subtract: Subtract the result from the dividend.
• Bring Down: Bring down the next digit (if any).
• Repeat the process until all digits are used.

🔢 Example 1:

624 ÷ 24

Step 1: Estimate: 24 is close to 25.
Step 2: 25 goes into 62 about 2 times.
Step 3: 24 × 2 = 48
Step 4: 62 – 48 = 14 → bring down the 4 (from 624) → 144
Step 5: 24 goes into 144 exactly 6 times.
Step 6: 24 × 6 = 144

✅ Answer: 624 ÷ 24 = 26

🔢 Example 2

1,056 ÷ 33

Step 1: Estimate: 33 ≈ 30
Step 2: 30 goes into 105 about 3 times
Step 3: 33 × 3 = 99
Step 4: 105 – 99 = 6 → bring down 6 → 66
Step 5: 33 × 2 = 66

✅ Answer: 1,056 ÷ 33 = 32
