Question

What is the quotient of 1,734 ÷ 75? Enter your answer by filling in the boxes. 1734-75 = ___ R ___

Answer 1

Solution:

Given:

$1734\div75$

Using the long division method, we have

This implies that

$\begin{gathered} 1,734\div75=23+0.12 \\ =23+\frac{12}{100} \\ =23+\frac{12\times5}{100\times5} \\ =23+\frac{125}{500} \\ =23+\frac{9}{75} \end{gathered}$

Hence, we have

$1734\div75=23\text{ R 9}$
