How do you divide 264 by 8?

8)264

We say ' eights into '2' won't go'

So then we say/try 'eight into 26' = 3 remainder '2'

The '3' goes in the answer .

8)264 = 3....

The '2' is then combined with the '4' to read '24' ; NOT (2+4=)6 NOR (2 x 4 =)8

We then say 'Eight into '24' goes 3 times and NO remainder.

The '3' goes in the answer .

8)264 = 33 ; the answer!!!!!!

When making these SIMPLE divisions, ALWAYS start with the left hand number, and work to the right. As a consequence the first '3' in the answer goes in the 'tens' column and the second '3' in the answer goes in the 'units' column.
