Answer: The two estimates of quotient is 522 and 523 .


Explanation:

Compatible numbers are numbers which are close in value to the given numbers, and make it easy to calculate the answer for any given arithmetic problem .

To find two estimates that the quotient is between in 1045÷2

We now that 1045 is greater than 1044 and less than 1046 i.e.1044<1045<1046

Dividing 2 from all sides ,we get

1044÷2<1045÷2<1046÷2

⇒522<1045÷2<523

As the quotient of 1045÷2 is lying between 522 and 523.

Therefore, the two estimates of quotient is 522 and 523
