Divide Multiples of 10 Using Patterns
Divide Multiples of 10 Using Patterns is a Grade 4 math skill in enVision Mathematics, Chapter 5: Use Strategies and Properties to Divide by 1-Digit Numbers. Students extend basic division facts to divide multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 by identifying and applying place value patterns.
Key Concepts
If a basic fact is $a \div b = c$, then the pattern continues when the dividend is a multiple of 10: $(a \times 10) \div b = c \times 10$.
Common Questions
How do you divide multiples of 10 using patterns?
Identify the basic division fact. Then use the number of zeros to determine the quotient magnitude. For example, 48 divided by 8 equals 6, so 480 divided by 8 equals 60 and 4800 divided by 8 equals 600.
What is the pattern for dividing multiples of 10?
The quotient has the same number of trailing zeros as the dividend that come from the original multiple. Dividing removes them from the count if the basic fact does not produce zeros.
What is an example of dividing a multiple of 1,000?
To divide 3,600 by 9: basic fact is 36 divided by 9 equals 4. Since 3,600 equals 36 times 100, the quotient is 4 times 100 equals 400.
How does this pattern connect to multiplication patterns?
Division and multiplication patterns with multiples of 10 are inverse operations. Understanding one helps with the other since the zero patterns work symmetrically.
