What will you learn in this lesson?

Students divide by a 2-digit number, using estimation to choose each digit of the quotient, then complete the long-division steps and check with multiplication.

  • Divides whole numbers by a 2-digit number
  • Uses estimation to determine the digits of the quotient
  • Checks the quotient using multiplication

💡 Tip: Round the divisor to the nearest ten to estimate each digit: in 384 ÷ 16, think of 38 ÷ 20, which is about 2, then continue to reach 24.

FAQ about the Divide by a Two-Digit Number lesson

How do I calculate 936 ÷ 18?

93 ÷ 18 = 5 remainder 3; bring down the 6 to get 36, and 36 ÷ 18 = 2, so the quotient is 52. Check: 52 × 18 = 936.

What do I do if my estimate for a quotient digit is too big?

If the product is greater than the number you are dividing, the digit is too big, so reduce it by one and redo the multiplication and subtraction.
