To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps using long division:
Let's work through each step:
Step 1: Consider the first two digits of 3240, which is 32. Divide 32 by 16.
Step 2: goes into two times. Write above the line as the first digit of the quotient.
Step 3: Multiply by to get , and subtract this from the current digit segment, which is . We have no remainder yet, so bring down the next digit, which is .
Step 4: Now divide (after bringing down the next digit) by . goes into two times as well. Write as the next digit of the quotient.
Step 5: Multiply by to get , and subtract from the current digit segment, . This gives a remainder of , and we bring down the last , which now makes .
Step 6: goes into five times. Write as the last digit of the quotient.
Step 7: Multiply by to get , subtract from to get a remainder of . Bring down the final , there is no digit remaining after this.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is that the quotient is with a remainder of , which matches choice 4.
with a remainder of 8
Start from the leftmost digits and work right. Take enough digits so the number is larger than or equal to your divisor. Here, we started with 32 because 3 alone is smaller than 16.
That's normal! Write down how many times it goes in completely, then subtract that amount and bring down the next digit. The leftover becomes part of your next working number.
Use this formula: quotient × divisor + remainder = original dividend. For our problem: ✓
That means you made an error! The remainder should always be smaller than the divisor. Go back and check your division and subtraction steps.
Each step matters! We got 2 (from 32÷16), then 0 (from 4÷16), then 2 (from 80÷16). Following the process carefully gives us 202, not random guessing.
