Question

Divide the largest 4-digit number by 653 check your answer by the division algorithm

Answer 1

Explanation:

653 ) 9999 ( 15

-653

346 9

- 326 5

_______

204

Step by step explanation:

Start from left by dividing the smallest number that can be divided by 653. Subtract the numbers and you get 346.

Bring down the next digit ( 9 ) .

Now you will write the digit 5 next to 1 and then you will get 3265 . Subtract the numbers and you will get 204 .

So the reminder is 204 .

The answer is 15 with the remainder 204 .

Now , check you answer by using the division algorithm.

First we need to understand the algorithm.

So basically to check your answer you will do multiple the divisor to the quotient and add them all together to the remainder .

( 653 x 15 ) + 204 . Hope you understand that .

now write these steps:

9999 = (653 x 15 )+ 204 (Now if we multiple

will get 9795 .

9999 = 9795 + 204 (Now we will get the

answer 9999 ! )

Now you question has been solved and sorry I wrote a lot I wanted more points XD . Hope you understand the question tho.
