Math Problem Statement

Solve the following division problems: 974 ÷ 31, 600 ÷ 32, 974 ÷ 33, and 715 ÷ 34.

Solution

I see the division worksheet uploaded. Let's solve each of the four problems step by step with detailed explanations:


Problem (1):

974÷31974 \div 31

  1. Estimate: 31 goes into 97 approximately 33 times (since 31×3=9331 \times 3 = 93).
  2. Subtract 9393 from 9797:
    9793=497 - 93 = 4. Bring down the next digit (4), so the new number is 4444.
  3. Determine how many times 3131 goes into 4444:
    It goes 11 time (since 31×1=3131 \times 1 = 31).
  4. Subtract 3131 from 4444:
    4431=1344 - 31 = 13, which is the remainder.

Quotient: 3131
Remainder: 1313


Problem (2):

600÷32600 \div 32

  1. Estimate: 32 goes into 60 approximately 11 time (since 32×1=3232 \times 1 = 32).
  2. Subtract 3232 from 6060:
    6032=2860 - 32 = 28. Bring down the next digit (0), so the new number is 280280.
  3. Determine how many times 3232 goes into 280280:
    It goes 88 times (since 32×8=25632 \times 8 = 256).
  4. Subtract 256256 from 280280:
    280256=24280 - 256 = 24, which is the remainder.

Quotient: 1818
Remainder: 2424


Problem (3):

974÷33974 \div 33

  1. Estimate: 33 goes into 97 approximately 22 times (since 33×2=6633 \times 2 = 66).
  2. Subtract 6666 from 9797:
    9766=3197 - 66 = 31. Bring down the next digit (4), so the new number is 314314.
  3. Determine how many times 3333 goes into 314314:
    It goes 99 times (since 33×9=29733 \times 9 = 297).
  4. Subtract 297297 from 314314:
    314297=17314 - 297 = 17, which is the remainder.

Quotient: 2929
Remainder: 1717


Problem (4):

715÷34715 \div 34

  1. Estimate: 34 goes into 71 approximately 22 times (since 34×2=6834 \times 2 = 68).
  2. Subtract 6868 from 7171:
    7168=371 - 68 = 3. Bring down the next digit (5), so the new number is 3535.
  3. Determine how many times 3434 goes into 3535:
    It goes 11 time (since 34×1=3434 \times 1 = 34).
  4. Subtract 3434 from 3535:
    3534=135 - 34 = 1, which is the remainder.

Quotient: 2121
Remainder: 11

Follow-Up Questions:

  1. How do you verify the quotient and remainder in a division problem?
  2. What happens if the remainder is 0 in a division problem?
  3. Can you explain how estimation is used in long division?
  4. Why is it important to bring down digits one at a time in long division?
  5. How can you express a division problem with a remainder as a decimal?

Tip:

When dividing, always double-check multiplication results to ensure the accuracy of your quotient and remainder.
