Ready to do one with a bigger number and more DMS loops? I think you are, dude!
Set it up:
Remember, your DMS loop... Division, then multiplication, then subtraction... and we do this until we run out of numbers!
Division:
| Five doesn't go into 9 cleanly... What comes close, but is a little less?
Five goes into 9 one time... with a little left over. Put that 1 right above the 9:
|
 |
That little freaky thing seemed a lot easier this time, didn't it? Let's keep going!
| Multiplication:
Multiply the 1 and the 5 and put the answer right under the 9:
|
 |
| Subtraction:
Do the subtraction...
That's 9 - 5 = 4
|
 |
First DMS loop done! This is getting easier, isn't it?
Division, multiplication, subtraction.
Let's get the next number and do the DMS loop again!
Set it up:
Drag the 6 down.
That makes it a 46...
|
 |
Now, let's go back into our DMS loop using the 46!
| Division:
We want to see how
many times 5 will go into 46... Five goes into 45 nine times, so we'll use that!
5 goes into 46 nine times with a little left over. Put that 9 right above the 6:
|
 |
| Multiplication:
Multiply the 9 and the 5 and put the answer right under the 46:
|
 |
| Subtraction:
That's 46 - 45 = 1
We haven't used all the numbers yet, so we need to do another loop!
|
 |
Let's get the next number and do the DMS loop again!
Get that bad boy set up:
Drag the 5 down.
That makes it a 15...
|
 |
Now, let's go back into our DMS loop using the 15!
| Division:
We want to see how
many times 5 will go into 15... It goes in cleanly!
5 goes into 15 three times. Put that 3 right above the 5:
|
 |
| Multiplication:
Multiply the 3 and the 5 and put the answer right under the 15:
|
 |
| Subtraction:
That's 15 - 15 = 0
DONE, BABY!!
The answer is 193.
|
 |
Check it!! 193 x 5 should = 965!
There's one more little thing I need to show you before you try some on your own... Check out the next page!
