DMSCB

DMSCB stands for Does McDonald Sell Cheese Burgers . That helps you remember to Divide ,

Multiply, Subtract, Check ,and Bring down.The divisor is what you divide by. Our divisor is

7. The dividend is what you divide into . Our dividend is 5,389.

How we got zero

7 doesn’t go into 5 so we put a zero on top.Dividing is the first step.

How we got seven

Because 7 does not go into 5, we go to 53. 7 goes into 53 seven times so we put the 7 on top. Multiplying is the next step .7x7 is 49 and since subtracting is the next step we do 53 -49 which is…

Checking

53-49=4.4 is smaller than 7 so we are O.K. Then we bring down the 8 so we have 48.

Dividing comes back

Since we finished DMSCB we go to back to the beginning. 7 goes into 48 6 times so we put a six on the top.

Multiplying and subtracting strike again

7x6 is 42 so we put the 42 below the 48 . Then we subtract . The answer is …

Checking part 2

48-42 is 6 so then we check. 6 is smaller than 7 so we are okay.

Bringing down comes again

We have to bring down the 9.

Going back

For the third time we divide . 7 goes into69 nine times so we put the nine on top.

Multiplying and Subtracting part 3

Now we do 9x7 which is 63 . Next you have to do 69-63 and that equals …

Finishing !!!

69-63 is 6 . Since we do not have anything to bring down our remainder is 6 and our quotient is 769 R6. We are finished!!!
