Not all divisions end in zero. We will examine such divisions in a subsequent subsection.

## Practice set a

Perform the following divisions.

$\text{126}÷7$

18

$\text{324}÷4$

81

$2,\text{559}÷3$

853

$5,\text{645}÷5$

1,129

$\text{757},\text{125}÷9$

## Division with a multiple digit divisor

The process of division also works when the divisor consists of two or more digits. We now make educated guesses using the first digit of the divisor and one or two digits of the dividend.

## Sample set b

Find $2,\text{232}÷\text{36}$ .

$\begin{array}{c}\hfill 36\overline{)2232}\end{array}$

Use the first digit of the divisor and the first two digits of the dividend to make the educated guess.

3 goes into 22 at most 7 times.

Try 7: $7×\text{36}=\text{252}$ which is greater than 223. Reduce the estimate.

Try 6: $6×\text{36}=\text{216}$ which is less than 223.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Multiply:}\hfill & \text{6 × 36 = 216. Write 216 below 223.}\hfill \\ \text{Subtract:}\hfill & \text{223 - 216 = 7. Bring down the 2.}\hfill \end{array}$

Divide 3 into 7 to estimate the number of times 36 goes into 72. The 3 goes into 7 at most 2 times.

Try 2: $2×\text{36}=\text{72}$ .

Check :

Thus, $2,\text{232}÷\text{36}=\text{62}$ .

Find $2,\text{417},\text{228}÷\text{802}$ .

$\begin{array}{c}\hfill 802\overline{)2417228}\end{array}$

First, the educated guess: $\text{24}÷8=3$ . Then $3×\text{802}=\text{2406}$ , which is less than 2417. Use 3 as the guess. Since $3×\text{802}=\text{2406}$ , and 2406 has four digits, place the 3 above the fourth digit of the dividend.

Subtract: 2417 - 2406 = 11.
Bring down the 2.

The divisor 802 goes into 112 at most 0 times. Use 0.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Multiply:}\hfill & \text{0 × 802 = 0.}\hfill \\ \text{Subtract:}\hfill & \text{112 - 0 = 112.}\hfill \\ \text{Bring down the 2.}\end{array}$

The 8 goes into 11 at most 1 time, and $1×\text{802}=\text{802}$ , which is less than 1122. Try 1.

Subtract $1122-802=320$
Bring down the 8.

8 goes into 32 at most 4 times.

$4×\text{802}=\text{3208}$ .

Use 4.

Check:

Thus, $2,\text{417},\text{228}÷\text{802}=3,\text{014}$ .

## Practice set b

Perform the following divisions.

$1,\text{376}÷\text{32}$

43

$6,\text{160}÷\text{55}$

112

$\text{18},\text{605}÷\text{61}$

305

$\text{144},\text{768}÷\text{48}$

3,016

## Division with a remainder

We might wonder how many times 4 is contained in 10. Repeated subtraction yields

Since the remainder is less than 4, we stop the subtraction. Thus, 4 goes into 10 two times with 2 remaining. We can write this as a division as follows.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Divide:}\hfill & \text{4 goes into 10 at most 2 times.}\hfill \\ \text{Multiply:}\hfill & \text{2 × 4 = 8. Write 8 below 0.}\hfill \\ \text{Subtract:}\hfill & \text{10 - 8 = 2.}\hfill \end{array}$

Since 4 does not divide into 2 (the remainder is less than the divisor) and there are no digits to bring down to continue the process, we are done. We write

or $\mathrm{10}÷4=\underset{\text{2 with remainder 2}}{\underbrace{2R2}}$

## Sample set c

Find $\text{85}÷3$ .

$\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\text{Divide:}\hfill & \text{3 goes into 8 at most 2 times.}\hfill \\ \text{Multiply:}\hfill & \text{2 × 3 = 6. Write 6 below 8.}\hfill \\ \text{Subtract:}\hfill & \text{8 - 6 = 2. Bring down the 5.}\hfill \end{array}\right)$ $\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\text{Divide:}\hfill & \text{3 goes into 25 at most 8 times.}\hfill \\ \text{Multiply:}\hfill & \text{3 × 8 = 24. Write 24 below 25.}\hfill \\ \text{Subtract:}\hfill & \text{25 - 24 = 1.}\hfill \end{array}\right)$

There are no more digits to bring down to continue the process. We are done. One is the remainder.

Check: Multiply 28 and 3, then add 1.

Thus, $\text{85}÷3=\text{28}\mathrm{R1}$ .

Find $\text{726}÷\text{23}$ .

Check: Multiply 31 by 23, then add 13.

Thus, $\text{726}÷\text{23}=\text{31}R\text{13}$ .

## Practice set c

Perform the following divisions.

$\text{75}÷4$

18 R3

$\text{346}÷8$

43 R2

$\text{489}÷\text{21}$

23 R6

$5,\text{016}÷\text{82}$

61 R14

$\text{41},\text{196}÷\text{67}$

614 R58

## Calculators

The calculator can be useful for finding quotients with single and multiple digit divisors. If, however, the division should result in a remainder, the calculator is unable to provide us with the particular value of the remainder. Also, some calculators (most nonscientific) are unable to perform divisions in which one of the numbers has more than eight digits.

Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?

?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga

Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
there is no specific books for beginners but there is book called principle of nanotechnology
NANO
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
SUYASH
What is lattice structure?
of graphene you mean?
Ebrahim
or in general
