Divide by 8, 9 and 10

You can divide by 8 and 9 using models

For example, to divide 16 by 8 using models, make an array of 8 equal rows. Count the number of counters in each row. The number of counters in each row represents 16 ÷ 8

Number in each group x Number of groups = Number in all

Number in all ÷ Number in each group = Number of groups

Number in all ÷ Number of groups = Number in each group

You can use repeated subtraction to divide by 8 and 9

For example, to divide 16 by 8, start at 16 and subtract 8 from 16 until you reach 0

16 – 8 = 8; 8 – 8 = 0

The number of times we have subtracted represents 16 ÷ 8

You can use place value models to divide by 10

For example, if you divide 60 by 10, show 60 using tens models

Separate the models so there is one ten in each group

The number of groups represents 60 ÷ 10

Dividing a number by 10 is the same as removing a zero from the right side of the number
