Students in the third, fourth, and fifth grades made
525 origami animals to display in the library. Each
grade made the same number of animals. How
many animals did each grade make?

Example 1 Divide. 525 ÷ 3

There are 8,523 sheets of origami paper to be divided
equally among 8 schools. How many sheets of
origami paper will each school get?

Example 2 Divide. 8,523 ÷ 8

STEP 1 Use place value to place the first digit.

Look at the thousands in 8,523.

8 thousands can be shared among
8 groups without regrouping. 8qw

The first digit of the quotient will be

in the __ place.
STEP 2 Divide the thousands.

STEP 3 Divide the hundreds.

STEP 4 Divide the tens.

STEP 5 Divide the ones.

So, each school will get _ sheets of

origami paper.

There will be _ sheets left.

connect Division and multiplication are inverse operations. You can
use multiplication to check your answer to a division problem.

Multiply the quotient by the divisor. If there is a remainder, add it to

the product. The result should equal the dividend.

Divide. Check.

quotient → 1,065 r3 ← remainder 1,065 ← quotient

divisor → 8qw
8,523 ← dividend ×
__ 8 ← divisor
8,520
+
__ 3 ← remainder
8,523 ← dividend
The check shows that the division is correct.
