On dividing 55390 by 299, the remainder is 75. Find the quotient using division algorithm.

Answer 1

Here, divisor = 299, dividend = 55390 and remainder = 75.

dividend = divisor $\text{×}$ quotient + remainder $\text{⇒}$ 55390 = 299 $\text{×}$ quotient + 75 $\text{⇒}$ 299$\text{×}$ quotient = 55390 − 75 = 55315 $\text{⇒}$ quotient = 55315 $\text{÷}$ 299 = 185

Hence, the quotient is 185.
