Now 11 is greater than 5, so we divide.
From the mul plica on table of 5, we know that 5 × 2 = 10, which is
less than 11.

Write 2 in the tens place of the quo ent.

11 – 10 = 1
23
Step 2: Bring down 5 from the ones place of the dividend.
5 115
5 × 3 = 15 – 10

Write 3 in the ones place of the quo ent. 15
15 – 15 = 0 – 15
00
So, 115  5 = 23.
Check: 115 ÷ 5 = 23

(Divisor × Quo ent) + Remainder

= (5 × 23) + 0 = 115 + 0 = 115 = Dividend
So, the division is correct.

Example 8: Divide 492 by 4 and check your answer.
123 Common Mistake!

Solu on: 4 492 Incorrect division Correct division
– 4 17 170
09 5 850 5 850

– 8 – 5 – 5
12 35 35
– 35 – 35
– 12
000 () 000
00
The division is incorrect since – 0
the zero at the end has not 0 ()
been divided.

Check: 492 ÷ 4 = 123, Reminder = 0
(Divisor × Quo ent) + Remainder

= (4 × 123) + 0 = 492 + 0 = 492 = Dividend
So, the division is correct.
