Work one digit at a time: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down the next digit. Check by multiplying: if 612 ÷ 4 = 153, then 153 × 4 must be 612.
Worked example
Find 228 ÷ 3. The answer is a whole number.
Answer:76
Divide one digit at a time: 22 ÷ 3 = 7 (7 × 3 = 21, leaves 1); 18 ÷ 3 = 6 (6 × 3 = 18, leaves 0). The quotient is 76. Check by multiplying: 76 × 3 = 228. Answer: 76.
