Division Dmbsr


1. **State the problem:** We need to divide 792 by 3 using the DMBSR method, which stands for Divide, Multiply, Borrow, Subtract, and Repeat. 2. **Divide:** We start by dividing the first digit 7 by 3. 3 goes into 7 two times. 3. **Multiply:** Multiply 2 by 3, which equals 6. 4. **Subtract:** Subtract 6 from 7, resulting in 1. 5. **Bring down:** Bring down the next digit 9, making the number 19. 6. **Repeat Divide:** Divide 19 by 3, which equals 6 times. 7. **Multiply:** Multiply 6 by 3, giving 18. 8. **Subtract:** Subtract 18 from 19, resulting in 1. 9. **Bring down:** Bring down the last digit 2, making the number 12. 10. **Divide:** Divide 12 by 3 which equals 4. 11. **Multiply:** Multiply 4 by 3 to get 12. 12. **Subtract:** Subtract 12 from 12, resulting in 0. 13. **Final answer:** The quotient is 264 with no remainder. Therefore, $$792 \div 3 = 264$$.
