968 ÷ 4

So we can do long division.
     We think about how many fours go into each digit, starting with the rightmost one, in this case the nine in the hundreds digit.

Since four is not a factor of nine, we use a multiple of four closest to nine, in this case eight. We know that 2x4=8. We write the two above the hundred's digit and an eight beneath the nine. We subtract, and bring down the next digit.

     242

  4⌈968

   - 8|

       |

       V

_________

     16               Now we think about what number we can multiply four by to get sixteen. 4x4=16. We write      - 16               the four above the six digit. We write a sixteen underneath the sixteen and move to the              |                next digit, in this case, eight. Eight equals four times two. We write a two above the eight            V               digit. There are no remainders.
