Answer 1

$$\begin{array}{c}138\\ 435936\\ -\underset{–}{43}2\\ 163\\ -\underset{–}{129}\\ 346\\ -\underset{–}{344}2\\ 2\end{array}$$

On dividing 5936 by divisor 43, we get the quotient 138 and the remainder 2. [2 Marks]

Verification:
Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder
5936 = 43 × 138 + 2
5936 = 43 × (100 + 38) + 2
= 4300 + 1634 + 2
= 5936
Therefore, verified. [2 Marks]
