Question

Work out the following divisions:

$3639÷3$

Answer 1

Let us divide $3639$ by $3$

Step 1 : Divide $3$ thousands by $3$ i.e, $3÷3=1$

Write $1$ in the thousands place of the quotient and write product $3$, below the dividend in the thousands place. $3-3=0$

Step 2 : Bring down $6$

$6÷3=2$

Write $2$ in the hundreds place of the quotient and write product $6$, below the dividend in the hundreds place. $6-6=0$

Step 3 : Bring down $3$

$3÷3=1$

Write $1$ in the tens place of the quotient and write product $3$, below the dividend in the tens place. $3-3=0$

Step 4 : Bring down $9$

$9÷3=3$

Write $3$ in the ones place of the quotient and write $9$ below the dividend in ones place. $9-9=0$

$$\begin{gathered} \text{TH H T O} \\ 1213 \\ 3⟌3639 \\ -3\downarrow \downarrow \downarrow \\ 06\downarrow \downarrow \\ -6\downarrow \downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \downarrow \\ 3\downarrow \\ -3\downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \\ 9 \\ -9 \\ 0 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required quotient is $1213$ and remainder is $0$
