In this Grade 4 Eureka Math lesson from Chapter 15, students learn how to solve division problems that contain a zero in the dividend or a zero in the quotient, such as 804 ÷ 4. Using the long division algorithm, students practice recording each place value unit — including zero tens — to arrive at accurate quotients like 201. The lesson builds on prior work with remainders and place value to help students avoid common errors when zeros appear mid-calculation.
Section 1
Dividing a Zero in the Dividend
When dividing a place value in the dividend that is zero and there is no remainder from the previous step, the corresponding digit in the quotient is also zero. For any non-zero divisor , the division fact is .
Section 2
Dividing When a Partial Dividend is Smaller than the Divisor
If a partial dividend is less than the divisor, place a in the corresponding place value of the quotient. Then, bring down the next digit to form a new partial dividend.
