Solve the Division Problem: 74 ÷ 4 Step-by-Step

Question

Solve the exercise:

=74:4

00:00 Solve

00:03 Using the distributive law, let's find two numbers divisible by 4

00:07 Let's break down 74 into 80 minus 6

00:10 Let's divide each factor separately

00:21 Let's solve each division and then subtract

00:32 And this is the solution to the question

In order to simplify the resolution process we begin by breaking down the number 74 into a subtraction exercise:

We choose numbers divisible by:

$(80-6):4=$

Next we divide each of the terms inside of the parentheses by 4:

$80:4=20$

$6:4=1.5$

Lastly we subtract the result that we obtained:

$20-1.5=18.5$

18.5
