Long Form
Step 1 : Divide 3 by 3. You find that 3 goes into 3 1 3

once. Write 1 above 3. Write 3 x 1 = 3 3 3 9

below 3 and subtract 3 – 3 = 0.
– 3
Step 2 : Bring down the numeral 9. 0 9

Step 3 : Divide 9 by 3. The quotient is 3. Write 3 – 9

above 9 and write 3 x 3 = 9 below 9. 0 0

Step 4 : Subtract : 9 – 9 = 0.

So, 39 ÷ 3 = 13.
