To solve this division problem, we will use the long division method to divide 1040 by 4.
Step 1: Set up the division.
The dividend is 1040, and the divisor is 4. We will determine how many times 4 can fit into each part of 1040.
Step 2: Division of each digit group.
- Divide the first digit: 10 (from 1040) by 4. The result is 2, since 4 fits into 10 two times (4x2=8).
- Subtract 8 from 10, leaving a remainder of 2. Bring down the next digit 4 to make it 24.
- Divide 24 by 4. The result is 6, since 4 fits into 24 six times (4x6=24).
- Subtract 24 from 24, leaving no remainder.
- Bring down the last digit: 0. 0 divided by 4 is 0.
Step 3: Combine the results.
The results of our divisions are combined to form the complete quotient of 260.
Therefore, when 1040 is divided by 4, the quotient is .
