Answer 1

117

Explanation:

Here, we have to find the result when 4680 is divided by 40.

Meg wants to simplify the process of division here.

We know that 4680 can be written as 4000 + 600 + 80.

So,

`4680 / 40 = (4000 / 40) + (600/ 40) + (80/ 40)\\\\\Rightarrow 100 + 15 + 2\\\Rightarrow 117`

This method makes division very easy if we have to find results of division for large numbers. This example is an illustration of the same.

Please refer to image attached for results.

Hence, Meg gets the result as 117.
