Procedur fos Box Method Division

Example: 735 ÷ 5

  1. Look at the first digit (7).
    How many 5s are in 7? → 1
    Multiply: 1 × 5 = 5.
    Subtract: 7 − 5 = 2.
  2. Bring down the next digit (3).
    You now have 23.
    How many 5s are in 23? → 4
    Multiply: 4 × 5 = 20.
    Subtract: 23 − 20 = 3.
  3. Bring down the last digit (5).
    You now have 35.
    How many 5s are in 35? → 7
    Multiply: 7 × 5 = 35.
    Subtract: 35 − 35 = 0.
  4. No remainder.
    Final answer: 147.
