Divide

How to divide:Division is one basic concept that we cannot ignore,let us learn the key steps involved to solve division.The instructions on how to divide with the example 8765 / 12
Step 1:Divide the group of number into pair from right to left.
87 65
Take the first element in the left hand side.
12) 87 65(
Divide the number by the divisor.Write down the answer in right hand side of the dividend.
12) 87 65(7
Step 2:Multiply the quotient and divisor and write down the answer directly under the dividend then subtract it.
12) 87 65(7
84

--------

3
Step 3:Take the next number in the next pair and again do step one and step two.

12) 87 65(73

84

--------

3 6

3 6

----------

0

Step 4:Carry on the step one, step two and step three until get the reminder as zero.

12) 87 65(73

84

--------

3 6

3 6

----------

0 5

Finally we get the quotient and reminder value.

Here the quotient =73

Reminder =05
