Question

Divide the following:

$402÷2$

Answer 1

Let us divide $402$ by $2$

Step 1 : Divide $4$ hundreds by $2$

i.e, $4÷2=2$

Write $2$ in the hundreds place of the quotient and write product $4$, below the dividend in the hundreds place. $4-4=0$

Step 2 : Bring down $0$

$0÷2=0$

Write $0$ in the tens place of the quotient and write product $0$, below the dividend in the tens place. $0-0=0$

Step 3 : Bring down $2$

$2÷2=1$

Write $1$ in the ones place of the quotient and write $2$ below the dividend in ones place. $2-2=0$

$$\begin{gathered} \text{H T O} \\ 201 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 2⟌402 \\ -4\downarrow \downarrow \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 00\downarrow \\ -0\downarrow \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 0\downarrow \\ 2 \\ -2 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 0 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required quotient is $201$ and remainder is $0$
