Answer:
- 156 hundreds, 3 tens and 8 ones.
- 155 hundreds, 12 tens and 18 ones
- 155 hundreds, 10 tens and 38 ones
Explanation:
The easiest way is to divide the number by 100, 10 and 1 in that order so:
15638/100=156.38 <- From this number you take only the integer (or the number without decimals), and that would be your hundreds, for this case 156 is the integer part, so 156 hundreds.
Next we take take the 38 we had left from the above division, and we divide it by 10.
38/10=3.8 <- we apply exactly the same steps as before but with the tens, working only with the integer, meaning 3, so you end up with 3 tens.
Last but not least, the rest, that is 8, will be your ones. In this case, just 8 ones.
- Your first answer would be 156 hundreds, 3 tens and 8 ones.
Now, the combinations are infinite, if you take one from the hundreds it becomes 10 tens or 100 ones, and if you take 1 from the tens you get 10 ones. So you could have
155 hundreds (155-1), 12 tens (3+10-1), and 18 ones. Or any permutation you prefer.
For quick studies, it is easier to round down to the nearest 5 or 0, so another way to see this would be:
155 hundreds, 10 tens, and 38 ones.
