First you've got to estimate 4,377 which is 4,000 then you divide it by 8 and 8Ă—5=40 and since now you know it is 5 you just add the 2 zeros then you multiply your divisor and your quotient to see if your answer is correct . Answer:500.

When you estimate, you round the numbers up or down. In this case, I'll round 4,377 down to 4,000, because 8 divides nicely into that number. 4,000/8 = 500.
You could estimate it to be about 500.
Hope that helped you.
(You can round your own numbers if you would like, but remember that rounding should make it easier for you to solve!)
