Question

Work out the following divisions:

$8048÷4$

Answer 1

Let us divide $8048$ by $4$

Step 1 : Divide $8$ thousands by $4$ i.e, $8÷4=2$

Write $2$ in the thousands place of the quotient and write product $8$, below the dividend in the thousands place. $8-8=0$

Step 2 : Bring down $0$

$0÷4=0$

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 $4$

$4÷4=1$

Write $1$ in the tens place of the quotient and write product $4$, below the dividend in the tens place. $4-4=0$

Step 4 : Bring down $8$

$8÷4=2$

Write $2$ in the ones place of the quotient and write $8$ below the dividend in ones place. $8-8=0$

$$\begin{gathered} \text{TH H T O} \\ 2012 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 4⟌8048 \\ -8\downarrow \downarrow \downarrow \\ 00\downarrow \downarrow \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ -0\downarrow \downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \downarrow \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 4\downarrow \\ -4\downarrow \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 0\downarrow \\ 8 \\ -8 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 0 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required quotient is $2012$ and remainder is $0$
