Question

How to split 13,995 in two

Answer 1

To split a number in two, we just need to divide it by 2.

To divide, we can separate the number by each order of magnitude.

`13955=10000+3000+900+50+5`

You can divide each number individually and sum the results.

`\begin{gathered} (13955)/(2)=(10000)/(2)+(3000)/(2)+(900)/(2)+(50)/(2)+(5)/(2) \\ (13955)/(2)=5000+1500+450+25+2.5 \\ (13955)/(2)=6977.5 \end{gathered}`

And this is our result. 13,955 divided by 2 is 6,977.5
