Step 3. Multiply the divisor and the quotient. 3 tens × 2 = 6 tens T O
3
Write 6 in the tens place below the dividend. 2 6 8
Subtract the digits in the tens column. 6 – 6 = 0 – 6

Step 4. Now, bring down 8 ones. Divide 8 ones by 2. 8 ones ÷ 2 = 4 ones 0
Write 4 in the ones place in the quotient. T O

Step 5. Multiply the divisor and the quotient. 4 ones × 2 = 8 ones 3 4 (Q)
2 6 8
Write 8 in the ones place below the dividend as shown. – 6
Subtract the digits in the ones column. 8 – 8 = 0 0 8
– 8
Thus, quotient (Q) = 34, remainder (R) = 0.
0 (R)
Checking

(Quotient × Divisor) + Remainder = Dividend
(2 × 34) + 0 = 68

68 + 0 = 68
Thus, the answer is correct.

Division of a 3-digit number

Example 2. Divide 633 by 3.

Solution.

Step 1. Arrange the numbers as shown here.
Step 2. Divide the hundreds by 3. 6 hundreds ÷ 3 = 2 hundreds

Write 2 in the hundreds place in the quotient. H T O
Subtract the digits in the hundreds column. 6 – 6 = 0 2 1 1 (Q)

Step 3. Bring down the tens. Divide the tens by 3. 3 6 3 3
– 6
3 tens ÷ 3 = 1 ten 0 3

Write 1 in the tens place in the quotient. – 3

Subtract the digits in the tens column. 3 – 3 = 0 0 3
– 3
Step 4. Bring down the ones. Divide the ones by 3. 0 (R)

3 ones ÷ 3 = 1 one
Write 1 in the ones place in Checking
the quotient. (Quotient × Divisor) + Remainder = Dividend

Subtract the digits in the 211 × 3 + 0 = 633
ones column. 3 – 3 = 0
633 + 0 = 633
Thus, quotient (Q) = 211,
remainder (R) = 0. Thus, the answer is correct.
