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.
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.
