CCSS.Math.Content.4.NBT.B.6 Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value,
the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by
using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Start by setting up the problem like this. It looks just like the traditional long division method, except for the long line that is drawn to the right of the divisor.
1778
Ask - How many [8s] are in 177? There are at least 10, so that will be the first partial quotient.
Notice that you could pick other partial quotients here. You could have started with 20, or even a lower number like 5.
A good tip is to start with easy multiples, like 10, 20, 50, or 100.
10
1778
Multiply 10 * 8
10 80
1778
Subtract 177 minus 80.
10 80 97

1778
Start the process over again. Ask - how many [8s] are in 97?
Again, there are at least 10.

Multiply 10 * 8.

Subtract 97 minus 80.

Start the process again. Ask - how many [8s] are in 17. There are at least 2.

1778
Multiply 2 * 8.

Subtract 17 minus 16.

Since the 1 is less than 8, you are finished. Now add up the partial quotients - 10 plus 10 plus 2.

Write the answer above with the remainder.
You are finished.

Notice that you could have done the problem differently by picking different partial quotients. You could have completed the problem in fewer steps by picking partial quotients that were closer to the answer.
Here, the student starts with a partial quotient of 20.
1778 20
1778
Multiply 20 * 8

Subtract 177 minus 160.
