Answer: OC)

56

10

13

56−

13

10

.

Step-by-step explanation: Divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor:

7

÷

13

7÷13 gives a quotient of 0 (since 13 does not go into 7).

Bring down the next digit, 3, to the right of 7, making it 73.

Divide the new number (73) by the divisor (13):

73

÷

13

73÷13 gives a quotient of 5 with a remainder of 8.

Bring down the next digit, 8, to the right of 73, making it 88.

Divide the new number (88) by the divisor (13):

88

÷

13

88÷13 gives a quotient of 6 with a remainder of 10.

Bring down the next digit, 8, to the right of 88, making it 108.

Divide the new number (108) by the divisor (13):

108

÷

13

108÷13 gives a quotient of 8 with a remainder of 4.

Bring down the last digit, 4, to the right of the remainder:

Now you have 4.

Final Result:

The quotient is

56

4

13

56

13

4

or

56.4

56.4.

Now, looking at the answer choices:

OA) 56: Incorrect.
