Let's remember the division algorithm. For that, you must have a good understanding.
Try now to calculate the quotients
present the multiplication table. You can, in case of doubt, the following applying the algo-
consult the multiplication table you have rhythm of the division that you just
in your diary. We begin with the determination of a remember
quotient of two numbers where the divisor has only one digit:
(1st)The leftmost digit of the dividend is 4, which
is less than 5, value of the divisor, so instead of
475:5=95 we consider the number 47.
4755
Multiplication table of 5 is now being sought
(2nd)a number that multiplied by 5 gives 47 or less 120:4=
2595 that 47; 9X 5 = 45. It is also said, in 47
0
how many times there is 5. In our case, there are 9. Now the 120 4
the product of 9 by 5 is 45, therefore, making the difference
for 47, value in the dividend, 47 - 45 = 2; we place
the number 2 below the digit 7.
(3rd)The digit to the right of 7 in the dividend is brought down next to 2; this way we obtain the
number 25. We go back to our multiplication table of 5 to look for a number that multiplied
By 5 give 25 or less. The number is 5. 5 X 5 = 25; finding the difference, 25 - 25 = 0.
Write 0 below the digit 5.
In the following case, the divisor is represented by a number with
2112:6=
two digits:
2112 6
867 034
187 2 5, 5 This time we consider the number represented
(1st)by
170 the two leftmost digits, this is because
The divisor also has two digits. The number
0 0 taken is 86 because it is greater than 34.
(2nd)Now we are looking for a number that when multiplied by 34 gives 86 or less than 86. Can you
also experiment with numbers whose product is only by 3 (digit of the tens of
divisor) is 8 or less than 8 (in this case, it also takes into account the product of these 11575:25=
numbers by 4). We tried the product by 2: we successively multiplied 2 by 4 and
for 3. 2 X 4 = 8; it indicates the difference between (1)6 - 8 = 8, writing the number 8
underneath 6. Next 2 X 3 = 6. The difference now is made to 7 instead of 8. In 1157525
In practice, it is used like this: 2 X 3 = 6; 6 and one 7; 8 - 7 = 1, which is written
under 8.
(3rd)"Lower" the digit 7 next to 18, thus obtaining the number 187. Start over.
- follow the process. In 18, how many times is there 3? Although 6 X 3 = 18, the number 6 cannot
to be considered because when we multiply 6 by 4, the unit digit of the divisor,
6 X 4 = 24 "and two go". Thus we use the number just below, 5. 5 X 4 = 20;
indicating the difference, (2)7 - 20 = 7, which we write below the 7 (digit of the
Units of 187). We now say "and there go two." Finding the product of 5 by 3,
5 X 3 = 15 and with the two that came from the previous product, 15 and two 17; 18 - 17 = 1 that
it is written below the 8.
105:75=
(4th)At this point, the obtained quotient is 25 and the remainder is 17. If you want to continue to obtain a
exact quotient or a greater approximation I will have to 'add' a zero after the 105 75
the inscription of a comma immediately after the digit of the units of the dividend.
"Bringing down" the 0 next to 17 gives me the number 170 to which I will apply the process.
So that we already know. The final remainder is zero and I can represent the exact quotient. The
number of decimal places (digits to the right of the decimal point) of the quotient
is given by the difference between the number of decimal places of the dividend and the
do divisor. In our case, 1 - 0 = 1 corresponds to one decimal place in
quotient.
