Find each quotient. Pay close attention to zeros that may be needed in a quotient. For part d, also check your answer with multiplication.
a) \(4816\div8\)
b) \(3608\div4\)
c) \(1848\div9\)
d) \(7210\div7\)
Hints
- Write zero in a quotient place when the divisor fits zero times there.
- A final remainder must be less than the divisor.
- Check division by multiplying the quotient and divisor, then adding any remainder.
Solution
1. For a), begin with \(48\) because \(4<8\). Then \(48 \div 8=6\). Bring down the \(1\). Since \(8\) goes into \(1\) zero times, write \(0\) in the tens place of the quotient. Bring down the \(6\) to make \(16\), and \(16 \div 8=2\). Therefore, \(4816 \div 8=602\).
2. For b), begin with \(36\) because \(3<4\). Then \(36 \div 4=9\). Bring down the \(0\), and write \(0\) in the tens place of the quotient. Bring down the \(8\), and \(8 \div 4=2\). Therefore, \(3608 \div 4=902\).
3. For c), begin with \(18\) because \(1<9\). Then \(18 \div 9=2\). Bring down the \(4\). Since \(9\) goes into \(4\) zero times, write \(0\) in the tens place of the quotient. Bring down the \(8\) to make \(48\), and \(48 \div 9=5\) with remainder \(3\). Therefore, \(1848 \div 9=205\text{ R }3\).
4. For d), \(7 \div 7=1\). Bring down the \(2\). Since \(7\) goes into \(2\) zero times, write \(0\) in the hundreds place of the quotient. Bring down the \(1\) to make \(21\), and \(21 \div 7=3\). Bring down the final \(0\), and write \(0\) in the ones place of the quotient. Therefore, \(7210 \div 7=1030\).
5. Check for d): \(1030 \times 7=7210\).
Answer
a) \(602\)
b) \(902\)
c) \(205\text{ R }3\)
d) \(1030\); check: \(1030 \times 7=7210\)
