In division by two-digit numbers we will practice dividing two, three, four and five digits by two-digit numbers.
Consider the following examples on division by two-digit numbers:
Let us use our knowledge of estimation to find the actual quotient.
1. Divide 94 by 12
Round the number
94 ÷ 12 → 90 ÷ 10
Estimated quotient = 9
In order to find the actual quotient, multiply the divisor 12 by the estimated quotient.
12 × 9 = 108
12 × 8 = 96
12 × 7 = 84
108 > 94
96 > 94
The actual quotient, we find is 7.
Check:
Quotient – 7
Remainder – 10
12 × 7 + 10 = 94
2. Divide 96 by 16
Solution:
16 x 6 = 96, so, 6 will be the quotient.
We search for the possible quotient. The divisor is a number of two digits.
So, 96 is taken as dividend.
Therefore, Quotient = 6

13. Divide 923 by 13
Solution:
|
Let us divide 923 by 13. Step I: Since, the divisor is a 2-digit number, we consider 92 the 2-digit number on the extreme left of the dividend. 92 > 13, we know that 13 x 7 = 91 We write 7 in the quotient. Subtract 91 from 92. Step II: Bring down 3 and write on the right side of the remainder. 13 is the new dividend. Step III: Divide 13 by 13. We know 13 x 1 = 13. Write 1 in the quotient. Subtract 13 from 13. The remainder is 0. |
 Hence, quotient = 71 and remainder = 0. |
14. Divide 1749 by 27 and check your answer.
|
Solution: Let us divide 1749 by 27. Step I: The divisor 27 is greater than the 2-digit number on the extreme left of the dividend. So, we take the 3-digit number which is 174 and divide by 27. Write 6 in the quotient and subtract 162 from 174. Step II: Bring down 9 and write on the right side of the remainder. 129 is the new dividend. Step III: Divide 129 by 27. Write 4 in the quotient and subtract 108 from 129. Remainder is 21 |
 Hence, quotient = 64 and remainder = 21 |
Verification:
We know that
Dividend = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder
= 64 x 27 + 21
= 1728 + 21
= 1749
1749 is the dividend as given in the question.
15. Divide 15642 by 32
Solution:
 |
I: 1 Therefore, take 156 II: We have 32 × 5 = 160 > 156 32 × 4 = 128 Since 128 III: 156 – 128 = 28. Bring down 4. 284 > 32. We have 32 × 9 = 288 > 284. 32 × 8 = 256 Since 256 IV: 284 – 256 = 28. Bring down 2. 282 > 32. We have 32 × 9 = 288 > 282 32 × 8 = 256 V: Write 8 as the third digit of the quotient. Write the product 32 × 8 = 256 below 282 and subtract. 282 – 256 = 26. Since 26 |
Division Activity
Objective: Dividing a 2-digit number by 9 using short cut method.
Materials Required: Pen and paper only.
Procedure/Demonstration: We can divide any 2-digit number by 9 quickly.
Type 1: When the sum of the digits is less than 9.
In this case, the tens digit of the dividend gives quotient and the sum of the two digits gives remainder.
Type 2: When the sum of the digits is greater than or equal of 9 but less than 18. In this case, 1 more than the tens digit of the dividend gives quotient. To get the remainder, subtract 9 from the sum of the digits of the dividend.
75 ÷ 9 gives quotient = 7 + 1 = 8 and remainder = 12 – 9 = 3
63 ÷ 9 gives quotient = 6 + 1 = 7 and remainder = 9 – 9 = 0
