Division

Division on the soroban, place by place

Division on the soroban relies on estimation and repeated subtraction. Place the dividend on the abacus and divide from left to right, place by place.

核心概念

1 The steps

Decide how many times the divisor fits into the current part of the dividend, write the quotient digit, then subtract (digit × divisor) from the dividend, and move to the next place.

2 Whole-number result

In this version we practice division with a whole-number result (no remainder) to keep it simple.

3 Tip

Division is the reverse of multiplication; mastering multiplication makes estimating the quotient easier and faster.
