1-2 Divide Multi-Digit Whole Numbers
Every year students take the school bus to and
from school. There are about 4,80,000 school
buses in the United States, and there are
25,920,000 total students who take the bus.
You can use division to find out how many students
are on each bus.
To divide multi-digit numbers you can use long
division. The number to be divided is the
dividend. The divisor is the number by which the
dividend is divided.

Additional Example 1: Finding Group Size Using
Division.
There are 435 members of the United States
House of Representatives. It the member
where split into 15 equal-sized committees,
how many representatives would be in each
committee?
Step 1: Decide where to place the first digit in the
quotient.
x
15) 435
no You cannot divide 4 by 15.
x
15) 435
yes You can divide 43 by 15.
So, place the first digit of the quotient in the tens place.

A tour operator is organizing 442 people on
buses for a day trip. If they wish to separate
the people equally on 13 buses, how many
people are on each bus?
Step 1: Decide where to place the first digit in the
quotient.
x
13) 442
no You cannot divide 4 by 13.

yes
You can divide 44 by 13.
So, place the first digit of the quotient in the tens place.

Additional Example 2: Finding Numbers of
Groups Using Division
A store manager has 224 pairs of jeans to
stock on the store’s shelves. If each shelf can
hold 18 pairs of jeans, how many shelves does
the manager need to stock all the pairs
of jeans?
Step 1: Use an estimate to place the first digit in the
quotient.
Divide:
Estimate:
224 ÷ 18 = n
200 ÷ 20 = 10
18) 224
So, n ≈ 10.
So, the first digit of the quotient will be in the tens place.

Continued: Example 2
Twelve shelves will not be enough hold all the
jeans. Another shelf will be needed to hold the
remaining 8 jeans. The quotient must be
rounded up to the next whole number.
Since 12 is close to the estimate of 10, the
answer is reasonable. So, the manager will need
13 shelves.

Check It Out: Example 2
A store manager has 338 pairs of jeans
to stock on the store’s shelves. If each
shelf can hold 24 pairs of jeans, how
many shelves does the manager need to
stock all the pairs of jeans?
Step 1: Use an estimate to place the first digit in the
quotient.
Divide:
Estimate:
338 ÷ 24 = n
24) 338
340 ÷ 20 = 17 So, n ≈ 17.
So, the first digit of the quotient will be in the tens place.
