3. Motivation
The Bureau of Plant and Industry will distribute 13 000 mango
seedlings to 10 barangays. How many seedlings will each barangay
received?
a. What will the Bureau of Plant Industry do?
b. What operation will you use to solve the problem?
B. 1. Presentation
What is the answer to the question if there are 100 barangays instead
of 10? How about 1 000 barangays.
To solve these examples, we cancel as many zeros in the dividend as
there are in the divisor. In example 1, there is only one zero in the divisor, so
we cancel one zero in the dividend. In example 2, there are two zeros in the
divisor, so we cancel 2 zeros in the dividend. We do the same in example 3.
Then we apply the principle that any number divided by 1 is equal to the
number in case the divisor is not 1, divide the remaining digits.
2. Analysis/Discussion
a. Who will distribute the mango seedlings? How many seedlings will they
distribute?
b. What is dividend? What is divisor?
c. In example 1) how many zeros were cancelled both in the dividend and
in the divisor? What digits were left? In example 2), how many zeros

were cancelled in both the dividend and the divisor? What digits were
left?
d. What will be done with the digits not cancelled?

3. Exercises
a. Using activity sheets
Divide the class into 5 groups. Give each group activity sheets:
Exercise sheet: Find the quotient
1. 400 10 =
000 =
4. 6 200 10 =

2. 400 100 =

3. 29 000 1

5. 110 000 1 000 =

b. Solve for the quotient mentally.

1. 420 000 600 =
=
4. 270 900 900 =

2. 51 000 500 =

3. 56 000 700

5. 6 650 70 =

4. Generalization
How do we divide whole numbers by 10, 100, and 1 000? Elicit
the pattern.
When dividing numbers that are multiples of 10, 100 and 1 000
cancel as many zeros in the dividend as there are in the division before
dividing. This means dividing the dividend and division by the same
power of 10. Then divide the remaining digits.
C. Application
Solve for the ff. Problem:
-

A sack of cement costs P 100.00 How many sacks can one buy with
P 600.00?

IV. Evaluation
Solve for the quotient.
1. 83 000 100 =
4. 9 300 100 =

2. 13 500 100 =
5. 78 000 100 =

3. 84 000 6 000 =
