Long division 2 x 1 with no remainder

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

Let's divide 96 by 8 using long division

🎙️

First look at the 9, in the tens place. One 8 fits into 9, so we add a 1 on top, and an 8 below

🎙️

Now we subtract our 8 to find how many tens we have left.

🎙️

Let's bring down the 6 in the ones place to make 16

🎙️

Two eights fit into 16, so we put a 2 on top, and 16, for 2 times 8, below

🎙️

Subtracting, we get a remainder of 0, so 96 divided by 8 is exactly 12

This skill teaches how to perform long division with a two-digit number divided by a single-digit number, resulting in an exact whole number without any remainder. It involves dividing each digit systematically, subtracting, and bringing down the next digit to continue the division.
