Step One - Divide

• Divide 3 into the first number in the dividend.
• 4 hundreds divided into 3 groups with 1 hundred
  in each group
• Write a 1 above the 4 because thats the current
  dividend.

Dad

Step Two - Multiply

• Multiply 3 groups with 1 hundred in each group is
  3 hundreds.
• Write the answer below the number you just
  divided into.

Mother

Step Three - Subtract

• 3 hundreds have been divided equally with 1
  hundred leftover
• Be sure to line up your numbers carefully.

Sister

Step Four - Compare

• After subtracting, compare the difference digit
  with the divisor. It should be less than the
  divisor, or else another group could be made.

Step Five Bring Down

• 9 tens to add to the 1 hundred (10 tens) to
  divide into 3 groups.

Repeat Step One - Divide

• Divide 3 into the new number.
• 19 tens divided into 3 groups gives 6 tens in
  each group
• Write a 6 above the 9 because thats the current
  dividend.

Repeat Step Two - Multiply

• Multiply 3 groups with 6 in each group to get 18
  tens. (3 x 6 18)
• Write 18 below the number you just divided into.

Repeat Step Four Bring Down

• If there are more digits in the dividend, bring
  the third digit in the dividend down.
• 7 ones to add to the 1 ten (10 ones) to divide
  into 3 groups.

• If there are more digits in the dividend, repeat
  the procedure.
• If there are no more digits in the dividend,
  write the final subtraction answer as a
  remainder.
• If there is no remainder, youre finished! Pat
  yourself on the back for a job well done.
