Question

Divide the following by Dhwajanka method
$98765÷87$

Answer 1

Therefore quotient$=1135$ and remainder$=20$
Steps:
(i) $9÷8$, Quotient digit$=1$,
Remainder digit$=1$
(ii) New dividend$=18$
Adjusted dividend
= New dividend – quotient digit $\times$ Dhwajank
$=18-1\times 7$
(iii)$11÷8$, Quotient digit$=1$
Remainder$=3$
(iv) New quotient$=37$
Adjusted quotient$=37–1\times 7=30$
(v)$30÷8$, Quotient digit$=3$,
Remainder$=6$
(vi) New quotient$=66$
Adjusted quotient$=66-7\times 3$
$=66-21=45$
(vii)$45÷8$, Quotient digit$=5$,
Remainder$=5$
(viii) New quotient$=55$,
Remainder$=55-7\times 5=20$
