Right. You have made a mistake: You see that "67" under the 74. That is not a multiple of 9.
I think that you thought that 9 * 7 was 67, but actually 9 * 7 = 63.
Do you want to try that bit of it again?
Offline
Okay I will give you a hint: 9 * 8 = 72.

I realise that I have put a * instead of an x.
I should have written 9 x 8 = 72 and 9 x 7 = 63
In computer programming the asterisk is often used instead of x
Offline
The use of "63" there is wrong because the multiple is too low. Try again.

as you can see i think i need to practes my tables first? what do you think?
Offline
I think I will tell you the answer to that bit of it which is that 9 x 8 = 72
So you get 74 - 72 = 2
I do agree that you do need to practice tables, but how can I help with that online ?
Offline
can you give me som quesson like 3x4= and so on do you think it will help me?
Offline
Okay so we have:
0 8
---------------
9 | 7 4 7 9
0
---
74
72
---
2
What do we need to do next?
The rest of it is easier because the numbers happen to be quite low.

Sorry about that you posted while I was posting ! The limitations of online chat.
Right here are some tables for you:
6 x 7 =
9 x 5 =
8 x 4 =
9 x 3 =
6 x 6 =
Offline
bring dow the 7 is that right?
Offline
Yes that is correct. Do you want to finish the division off ?
Offline
6 x 7 = 35
9 x 5 = 45
8 x 4 = 32
9 x 3 = 27
6 x 6 = 36
am i right?
Offline
yes i do what to finish the divison off please?
Offline
6 x 7 is not 35.
All of the rest of those tables were correct though. Well done. So do you want to try again with 6 x 7 ?

No. 6 x 7 = 42.
I have thought of an idea. You could take a note of any times table that you cannot do
correctly and focus your attention on those ones perhaps.
Offline
now what should we do then?
Offline
Sorry about that. Sometimes I am writing my next post and during that time you are doing yours.
When I post mine I see yours after I have submitted mine. Then I see that my post no longer makes sense.
But yes your answer in #643 was correct it is 42. This is one that you are going to have to focus on a bit more.
Offline
Right how about we just finish off that division.
The situation was that we have 27 left and we need a multiple of 9 for that.
What number do you think we should choose ?
Offline
is 3 right?
Offline
Yes 3 x 9 = 27.
So the "3" bit of that goes at the top (so that becomes 083 .... ).
Now the subtraction 27 - 27 = 0
So all we have now is 9 which is dropped down with an arrow.
Now we need a multiple of 9 which equals 9. Any comment ?

9 x 9 = 1 am i right? what shoul we do next then?
