Division of Zeros
Dividing with Zeros is a very basic process:
First things First:
 Every time you are dividing you are breaking down a dividend into
as many equal groups as possible.
 So to divide with zeros, you are doing the same thing BUT with a
twist
Let’s Examine!
 Remember Dancing Zeros? “Find your partner “dosi-do”, cross
the zeros as you go.” Well, that’s the first trick in dividing with
zeros.
Example:
120,000 ÷ 3,000
 Look at the dividend: 120,000 and find zero partners with the
divisor 3,000- partner them up and cross them OUT!
120,000 ÷ 3,000
 Rewrite the problem:
120 ÷ 3 =
 Solve:
Look at the whole numbers 12 ÷ 3 that equals 4.
Slide the zero over to your quotient and the answer is 40
