Question

estimate and then solve 1,260 / 16

Answer 1

Given:

$\frac{1260}{16}$

Divide 1260 by 16 using long division.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1260}{16} \\ \text{First }multiply\text{ quotient 7 }by\text{ the divisor 16.} \\ 126-(16\times7)=14\text{ } \\ \text{Now }the\text{ next number of dividend is 140} \\ 140-(16\times8)=12 \\ \text{Now add decimal and zero to the dividend} \\ 120-(16\times7)=8 \\ \text{Add one more zero to dividend} \\ 80-(16\times5)=0 \\ So,\text{ the quotient becomes 78.75} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$\frac{1260}{16}=78.75$

The dividend formula is,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Dividend}=\text{divisor}\times quotient+\text{ remainder} \\ 1260=16\times78+12 \end{gathered}$
