Section B: Practice Problems Multi-digit Division Using Partial Quotients

Section Summary

Details

In this section, we learned how to divide multi-digit whole numbers. To find a quotient like we broke 448 down into multiples of 16 and then added these partial quotients.

Then, we worked with a way to record these calculations that we first saw in an earlier course.

Divide. four hundred forty eight divided by 16.
