P. 2
So, Quotient = 4 Remainder = 8
Example (ii) 492 ÷ 10
So, Quotient = 49 Remainder = 2
Example (iv): 178 ÷ 10
So, Quotient = 17 Remainder = 8
Thus, when a. number is divided by 10, the remainder is always the digit of the unit
place and the quotient is the number made by the remaining digits.
Therefore, notice that on dividing by 10, the digit in the ONES place forms the
remainder, while the remaining digits form the quotient.
3. When a number is divided by 100, the quotient is the number made by the digits,
except the digits at one's and ten's places. The number formed by ten's and one's digit
of the dividend number is the remainder.
