Question

Estimate and then solve 1,260 / 16

Answer 1

Given:

`(1260)/(16)`

Divide 1260 by 16 using long division.

`\begin{gathered} (1260)/(16) \\ \text{First }multiply\text{ quotient 7 }by\text{ the divisor 16.} \\ 126-(16*7)=14\text{ } \\ \text{Now }the\text{ next number of dividend is 140} \\ 140-(16*8)=12 \\ \text{Now add decimal and zero to the dividend} \\ 120-(16*7)=8 \\ \text{Add one more zero to dividend} \\ 80-(16*5)=0 \\ So,\text{ the quotient becomes 78.75} \end{gathered}`

Answer:

`(1260)/(16)=78.75`

The dividend formula is,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Dividend}=\text{divisor}* quotient+\text{ remainder} \\ 1260=16*78+12 \end{gathered}`
