Explain the process of division by 3 digit number.


Process of division by  3 digit number :

  • 6546 divided by 123.
  • Divide the dividend's numbers by the divisor’s numbers.
  • Divide the dividend’s first number by the divisor’s first number.
  • 6 divided by 1 is 6.
  • Multiply the divisor (123) by 6 and see if it is less than the first 3 digits of dividend. If not, multiply by 5 and check.
  • Place the result underneath the dividend’s 3 digits and subtract.

123) 6546 (53
         615
      --------
             396
             369
         ----------
               27

 Bring down the dividend’s next number and divide as you did in the last step until there are no more numbers left.


Therefore,

$Dividend = Quotient \times Divisor + Remainder$

Verification:

$6546 = 53 \times 123 + 27$
