Question

Identify the divisor, dividend, quotient and remainder when 47 is divided by 9. Verify the division using the relationship between these. [2 marks]

Answer 1

Solution:
Let's divide 47 by 9.

$$\begin{array}{c}5\\ 947\\ -\underset{–}{45}2\\ 2\end{array}$$
Here, 47 is the dividend, 9 is the divisor, 5 is the quotient and 2 is the remainder. [1 mark]

Now, let's verify the division using the formula,
Dividend = Divisor $\times$ Quotient + Remainder
=> Dividend = 9 $\times$ 5 + 2 = 45 +2 = 47, which is correct. [1 mark]
