When a number is divided by 1000, the quotient is the number made of the digits except
the digits at one's, ten's and hundred's place. The number formed by these three digits
is the remainder.
Example (i): 1379 ÷ 1000
Will give quotient 1 remainder 379
Example (ii): 45362 ÷ 1000
Will give quotient 45 remainder 362
The 3 digits in the ONES, TENS, HUNDREDS places form the remainder.
Example (iii): 3851 ÷ 1000
So, quotient = 3 and remainder = 851
Thus, when the dividend number is divided by 1000, the extreme right three digits form
the remainder and the rest digit/digits form the quotient.
