If numbers are too difficult to divide in your head, use a written method.
Short division will sometimes give an answer with a remainder ( r ), which you can round up or round down.
To find the answer to 365 ÷ 7 see if 3 (the hundreds) can be divided by 7.
It cannot, so add the tens digit.
36 ÷ 7 = 5 r 1
Write down the 5 and carry over the 1, so 5 becomes 15.
15 ÷ 7 = 2 r 1
Write those numbers down. The answer is 52 r 1.
