P. 3
Example (i): 476 ÷ 100
Will give quotient 4 remainder 76
Example (ii): 3479 ÷ 100
Will give quotient 34 remainder 79
The number of digits in the remainder is equal to the number of zeros in the divisor.
Example (iii): 527 ÷ 100
So, quotient = 5 and remainder = 27
Example (iv): 7635 ÷ 100
So, quotient = 76 and remainder = 35
Thus, when the dividend number is divided by 100, the extreme right two digits form the
remainder and the rest of the digits form the quotient.
Therefore, when we divide by 100, the two digits in the ONES and the TENS place form
the remainder while the remaining digits form the quotient.
4. Following this method, when we divide by 1000, the remainder will have 3 digits.
