Whole Number ÷ Whole Number - Partial Quotients 5-68
Instead of breaking the total into 1s, break the dividend into a multiple of the divisor and what's left. Find and add partial quotients to get the total quotient. What's 6÷5? Since 6 = 5+1, 6÷5 = (5+1)÷5 = (5÷5)+(1÷5) = 1 + 1/5 = 1 1/5. What's 8÷3? Since 8 = 6+2, 8÷3 = (6+2)÷3 = (6÷3)+(2÷3) = 2 + 2/3 = 2 2/3.
