Division is an essential arithmetic operation that allows us to divide larger numbers into smaller pieces. Single-digit column division is one of the fundamental math skills every student must master. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of performing single-digit column division effortlessly.

Step 1: Set up the Problem

The first step in column division is to set up the problem correctly. Let’s take the division problem 72 ÷ 6 as an example:

  • Write the dividend (the number being divided) on the left, i.e., 72
  • Write the divisor (the number we are dividing by) on the left, i.e., 6
  • Leave some space for the quotient (the answer) on top, below the division symbol

Step 2: Divide Digit by Digit

Start with the leftmost digit of the dividend (7 in our example) and divide it by the divisor (6). Write the quotient above the division symbol, directly above the dividend digit you divided:

6 | 72

  12

Step 3: Subtract and Bring Down

Multiply the quotient you just obtained (1) with the divisor (6) and write the result below the dividend. Subtract this result from the digit(s) you just divided. Write the difference underneath the line. Then, bring down the next digit from the dividend:

6 | 72

  12

    -6

      12

Step 4: Repeat the Process

Now, repeat steps 2 and 3 with the new number (12) you obtained. Divide it by the divisor (6) and write the quotient above the division symbol. Subtract and bring down as before:

6 | 72

  12

    -6

      12

    -12

        0

Step 5: Determine the Remainder

Once you have completed the division, check if there is any remainder. In our example, there is no remainder (0). If there were any remainders, they would be written as a fraction:

72 ÷ 6 = 12 with a remainder of 0
