Basic Math Division

Introduction to basic math division:

In math, algebra is a fundamental arithmetic operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) generally used in day-to-day life. Division is capable of considered as repeated subtraction or equal distribution. In these articles, we are going to discuss about basic math division.

Simple division can teach to find the how frequently one whole number called the divisor, is contain in an additional whole number, called the dividend, or to divide a whole number into some proposed number of equivalent parts, and is a small method of performing frequent subtraction.

Basic Math Division – Steps with Examples:

Division process is inverse of multiplication operation. The division is classifying in 2 methods, dividend, and divisor. 

Basic math division – Steps:

Dividend:

The number that is to be divided is known as dividend.

Example:  `15 / 3`

Here, 15 is the dividend.

Divisor:

The number that divides the dividend is known as divisor.

Example: `15 / 3`

Here, 3 is the divisor.

Quotient:

Quotient defined as the number of times dividend is divided by the divisor.

Example: `21 / 3 = 7`

Here 7 is the quotient.

Remainder:

Remainder defined as, the number which is left behind when the dividend is not completely divided by the divisor.

Example: `29 / 4`

`7 xx 4 = 28`

`28 + 1 = 29`

Here, the number 1 is the remainder.

Basic Math Division – Example Problems:

Problem 1:    

Dividing the given values,

` 980 -: 10`

Solution:

Dividing the given values,

`980 -: 10`

98       

--------

10   | 980

| 90

------

80

80

--------

0

---------

So, the final answer is 98 quotients and 0 is remainder



Problem 2:

Evaluate the given values,

`1216 -: 19`

Solution:

Dividing the given values,

`1216 -: 19`

64     

--------

19   |  1216

|  114

---------

76

76

--------

0

---------

So, the final answer is 64 quotients and 0 is remainder

Problem 3:

Dividing the given values,

`1817 -: 23`

Solution:

Dividing the given values,

`1817 -: 23`

79         

--------

23   |1817

|161

------

207

207

--------

0

---------

Therefore, the final answer is 79 quotients and 0 is remainder.

Problem 4:

Dividing the given values,

`1898 -: 13`

Solution:

Dividing the given values,

`1898 -: 13`

146       

--------

13 | 1898

| 13

------

59

52

--------

78

78                                                                    

---------

0

---------

Therefore, the answer is 146 quotients and 0 remainder

Example 5:

Dividing the given values

`3872 -: 22`

Solution:

`3872 -: 22`

176       

----------

22 |   3872

|   22

167

154

---------

132

132

----------

0

---------

Therefore, the answer is 176 quotients and 0 remainder
