Question

Work out the following divisions:

$4000÷2$

Answer 1

Let us divide $4000$ by $2$

Step 1 : Divide $4$ thousands by $2$ i.e., $4÷2=2$

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

Step 2 : Bring down $0$

$0÷2=0$

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

Step 3 : 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 4 : Bring down $0$

$0÷2=0$

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

$$\begin{gathered} \text{TH H T O} \\ 2000 \\ 2⟌4000 \\ -4\downarrow \downarrow \downarrow \\ 00\downarrow \downarrow \\ -0\downarrow \downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \\ -0\downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \\ 0 \\ -0 \\ 0 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required quotient is $2000$ and remainder is $0$.
