How to do division on abacus(Want true answer in two or three line) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

   First, the number 7 doesn’t go into the number 3, unless we are dealing with decimals, which is beyond the scope of this article. Therefore, we move over to include the zero in 308. Now, we divide 30 by 7.

   Next, we understand that 30 can be divided by 7 four times. Immediately to the left of the 3 (on the fourth column) we place the four and leave it there. (This should give us an indication the answer will be in the forties.)

   Now, we multiply. 7 x 4 to reach 28. Or We think: 7 x 40 to get 280.

   We subtract 280 from 308, leaving us with 28 still occupying the tens and ones’ columns. Your partial answer should resemble the photo.

   Now, we divide the remaining 28 by 7. You place the next 4 immediately beside the first 4. Your answer should occupy the fourth and third columns. Clear the remaining 28.

   Our answer will be 44, which is shown in the photo below.

   If you examine the answer carefully, you will notice that 44 takes up the fourth and third columns. If you check your work through multiplication, you would be able to determine that the answer would be in the hundreds. You should be able to get 308 when you multiply 7 x 44.

   Now, bring your abacus to rest.
