Skill: Divide multi-digit numbers by 1-digit divisors

To divide a multi-digit number by a one-digit number, work from left to right by place value. If a place-value amount cannot be divided evenly, regroup its remainder into the next smaller place.

Example: Find $846 \div 3$.

1. Divide the hundreds.
   $8$ hundreds divided by $3$ is $2$ hundreds, with $2$ hundreds left over.

2. Regroup the remainder.
   The $2$ leftover hundreds become $20$ tens. Add the $4$ tens already in $846$:

$$20\text{ tens}+4\text{ tens}=24\text{ tens}.$$

3. Divide the tens.
   $24$ tens divided by $3$ is $8$ tens, with no tens left over.

4. Divide the ones.
   Bring down the $6$ ones.
   $6$ ones divided by $3$ is $2$ ones.

The quotient is:

$$846\div 3=282$$

You can check by multiplying:

$$282\times 3=846.$$

An estimate also helps: $846$ is close to $900$, and $900\div3=300$, so an answer of $282$ is reasonable.
