Question

Work out the following divisions:

$6482÷2$

Answer 1

Let us divide $6482$ by $2$

Step 1 : Divide $6$ thousands by $2$ i.e, $6÷2=3$

Write $3$ in the thousands place of the quotient and write product $6$, below the dividend in the thousands place. $6-6=0$

Step 2 : Bring down $4$

$4÷2=2$

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

Step 3 : Bring down $8$

$8÷2=4$

Write $4$ in the tens place of the quotient and write product $8$, below the dividend in the tens place. $8-8=0$

Step 4 : Bring down $2$

$2÷2=1$

Write $1$ in the ones place of the quotient and write $2$ below the dividend in ones place. $2-2=0$

$$\begin{gathered} \text{TH H T O} \\ 3241 \\ 2⟌6482 \\ -6\downarrow \downarrow \downarrow \\ 04\downarrow \downarrow \\ -4\downarrow \downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \downarrow \\ 8\downarrow \\ -8\downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \\ 2 \\ -2 \\ 0 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required quotient is $3241$ and remainder is $0$
