 Division Problem Today she started us off with 38028/4(She said that the / means divided by so) To make up a really good BIG division problem you have to think of the multiplues of the number that you are dividing by. In this case it's 4 so now you think of the basic facts of 4 The only pairs that I split the number into are 36000/4 2000/4 28/4=7 I got those because 38 can be split into 36 with 2 left over. I got the 20 from the left over 2 from the 38 and the 0 in 38028. Lastly I got the 28 from the last two numbers in 38028. To figure out 36000 I started with 36 and built up. 36/4=9 360/4=90 3600/4=900 36000/4=9000 So to start out with a 9000. Now I do the same with the 2000 and 28. I start with 20 and... 20/4=5 200/4=50 2000/4=500 ...you have a 500 and a 9000=9500 Then you do the same with the 28... 28/4=7 and you have a 9000, 500 and a 7. Add them all up and you get 9507. Do you get it? That is a really long way to division even though long division is doing all that in only a little work.
