Can you divide the number 8,101,265,822,784 by 8 without using either long or short division? By pure chance, you can divide this number by 8 (and get the correct answer) by simply transferring the first digit to the end of the number, like this: 8101265822784 1,012,658,227,848

No, we can not shift digits in a number to divide it. this is because shifting a digit in a number completely changes the number.

To divide the given number by 8 we have to use long division method.
