Jordan ordered 568783 mini toy cars. He divided an equal number to share to his friends. Including him. How many did each friend get?
Tip: He has 4 friends. Plus him =?
Please help, this question is really hard.
All I know is that 568783 is divided by 5. I don't know how to solve it though.
Copy and paste this into the Google search box.
568783 / 5 =
assuming he takes the odd cars, since
568783/5 = 113756 with a remainder of 3,
then each friend gets 113756 and he takes 113759
or, if he gives each friend 113757, then that leaves only 113755 for him.
To solve this problem, you need to divide the total number of mini toy cars, 568,783, by the total number of people sharing them, which is 5 (4 friends plus Jordan himself).
To do this division, you can use long division method or a calculator.
Using long division:
Step 1: Write the dividend (number being divided) and the divisor (number of people) as shown below:
568,783 | 5
Step 2: Starting from the leftmost digit of the dividend, divide by the divisor and write the quotient (number of cars each person gets) above the line, and the remainder (if any) below the line. It will look like this:
1
---------
5 | 568,783
Step 3: Divide 5 into the first digit of the dividend (5 into 5). The quotient is 1. Write '1' above the line, and multiply the quotient by the divisor (1 x 5 = 5) and write it below the dividend:
1
---------
5 | 568,783
5
Step 4: Subtract the result from the dividend, and write the remainder below the line:
1
---------
5 | 568,783
- 5
-----------
68678
Step 5: Bring down the next digit (8) next to the remainder:
1
---------
5 | 568,783
- 58000
-----------
86678
Step 6: Repeat the process by dividing the new dividend (86,678) by the divisor (5), and continue until you have divided the entire dividend:
1
---------
5 | 568,783
- 58000
-----------
86678
- 82500
-----------
41678
- 41500
-----------
178
Step 7: The final result is the quotient, which represents the number of mini toy cars that each person receives. In this case, each friend, including Jordan himself, would get 113,756 mini toy cars.
Therefore, each friend would get 113,756 mini toy cars.
