find the quotient of 488 and 8 by partitioning the dividend. show your work
How do you do quotient
i dont know
I am so confused!!!!
To find the quotient of 488 divided by 8 by partitioning the dividend, follow these steps:
Step 1: Write the dividend (488) and the divisor (8) as shown:
_____________
8 | 488
Step 2: Begin by dividing the first digit of the dividend (4). Ask yourself: How many times does the divisor (8) go into 4? Since 4 is less than 8, the answer is 0. Write the quotient above the line:
_____________
8 | 488
-0
Step 3: Now, bring down the next digit of the dividend (8) and attach it to the previously obtained quotient (0). The new number becomes 8. Ask yourself: How many times does the divisor (8) go into 8? The answer is 1. Write the quotient above the line:
_____________
8 | 488
-01
Step 4: Multiply the divisor (8) by the newly added quotient digit (1) and subtract the result from the combined digits (8 - 8). The new result is 0. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (8) and attach it to this result:
_____________
8 | 488
-01
88
Step 5: Ask yourself: How many times does the divisor (8) go into 88? The answer is 11. Write the quotient above the line:
_____________
8 | 488
-011
88
Step 6: Multiply the divisor (8) by the newly added quotient digit (1) and subtract the result from the combined digits (88 - 88). The new result is 0.
There is no remainder left, and the quotient obtained is 61:
61
-------
8 | 488
So, the quotient of 488 divided by 8 by partitioning the dividend is 61.
