Refer students to the Division Strategies Menu in the Student Guide Reference section.

87 is divisible by 3.
8 + 7 = 15; 15 is a multiple of 3.

178 is divisible by 2 since it is an even number.

577 is not evenly divisible by 6. 577 is not even.

Question 4 can be solved using mental math: 350 ÷ 7 = 50; 351 ÷ 7 = 50 R1.

  1. 29
  2. 89
  3. 96 R1
  4. 50 R1

Below is a sample solution strategy for 577 ÷ 6 using the all-partials method.

Remind students to check their answers using multiplication.

  1. 29 × 3 = 87
  2. 89 × 2 = 178
  3. 96 × 6 + 1 = 577
  4. 50 × 7 + 1 = 351
