Division Algorithm
We can find this by long division (or) standard division algorithm.
Division Algorithm
Mr. Sabari lives in kovalur village. He is a farmer and has a cow. He gets milk from it and sells the milk to 8 houses daily. His cow gives 8 L of milk daily. So it gives 240 L of milk for 30 days.
If so, how much of milk is bought by each house. In a month Mr. Sabari shares 240 L of milk to each 8 houses
So we have to split 240 in 8 parts.
We can find this by long division (or) standard division algorithm.
Step: 1
240 is whole part We are going to divide 240. Here 240 is the dividend
Step: 2
We have to split 240 into 8 equal parts, Here 8 is the divisor
Step: 3
There are three 8’s in 24. (8+8+8=24)
Write 3 on the top of the line. 3 × 8 = 24
Write the product 24 below the 24, starting from the left side.
Step: 4
Next write down ‘0’. We Can’t divide 0 by 8
So, write ‘0’ on the top near 3.
So 30 is quotient
It means, each house bought 30 L in a month.
Note:
Generally, when we are doing addition subtraction multiplication, we are starting from units place.
But in division, We do in opposite manner.
First choose the highest digit.
Here 2 is smaller than 8 so take 2 from Ten’s place. Now we have 24.
2. Find Quotient and Remainder \(53675 \div 8\)
Dividend = 53675
Divisor = 8
Quotient = 6709
Remainder = 3
Divisor = 8
Quotient = 6709
Remainder = 3
