7136 divided by 8 I am working in a work book and the answer is 892, but I can't figure how? can someone break it down for me.
71 divided by 8 = 8 with 7 left over
73 divided by 8 = 9 with 1 left over
16 divided by 8 = 2

I was taught by subtracting
What the heck this is for college
Sure! I can explain how to solve the problem.
To divide 7136 by 8, we can follow these steps:
1. Start by writing the dividend (7136) and the divisor (8) as shown:
7136
÷ 8
2. Begin dividing the leftmost digit of the dividend (7) by the divisor (8). Since 7 is smaller than 8, we move to the next digit and consider it as part of the dividend.
7136
÷ 8
3. Now, bring down the next digit (1) to the right of the remainder and divide the new dividend (71) by the divisor (8). The quotient, in this case, would be a single-digit number (8) because 71 is greater than 8, but not 8 times greater.
7136
÷ 8
8
4. Multiply the quotient (8) by the divisor (8) and subtract the result (64) from the new dividend (71). This will give us the remainder.
7136
÷ 8
8
-----
71
- 64
5. Bring down the next digit (3) to the right of the remainder and divide the new dividend (73) by the divisor (8).
7136
÷ 8
8
-----
713
- 64
73
6. Continue this process by repeating steps 4 and 5 until you have brought down all the digits of the dividend.
7136
÷ 8
8
-----
713
- 64
730
- 720
10
-----
16
7. Once you have completed all the steps, the quotient will be the final answer. In this case, the quotient is 892.
So, when you divide 7136 by 8, the answer is indeed 892.
Yes, this method involves subtracting.
Step 1:
71 / 8 = 64
71 - 64 = 7
Um that doesnt make any since
8 x 8 = 64
71 - 64 = 7
