Answer 1

Answer:

The boy divided 7865321 by 234 instead of 254.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the wrong divisor be x

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

7865321 = x * 33612 + 113

7865321 - 113 = 33612x

7865208 = 33612x

7865208 ÷ 33612 = x

x = 234

The boy divided 7865321 by 234 instead of 254
