Divide by splitting the number — Mental Maths Mastery

How to do it in your head

Split and share — “break the number into parts from the table, divide each part”

1. Find a big, easy part in the table: 6 × 60 = 360.
2. The rest is the small part: 372 − 360 = 12.
3. Divide both parts and add: 60 + 2.

Use it for: Sharing money or sweets equally, finding the price of one, and checking long division.

Worked example: 372 ÷ 6 = 62
