27 × 2 = 54 > 49 → division is not possible

Thus, the quotient is less than 2. In other words, the
quotient is 1.
Write 1 in the hundreds place of the quotient.

49 – 27 = 22

27 4984 Step 2: Bring down 8 tens of the dividend.

– 27 Consider the first two digits of the remainder and the
first digit of the divisor.
228
– 216 22 ÷ 2 = 11. Thus, the quotient can be 11.

12 To check, multiply 27 by 11.
27 × 11 = 297 > 228

27 × 10 = 270 > 228
27 × 9 = 243 > 228
27 × 8 = 216 < 228

Thus, the quotient in the tens place is 8.
228 – 216 = 12

184 Step 3: Bring down 4 ones of the dividend.

27 4984 12 ÷ 2 = 6. Thus, the quotient can be 6.

– 27 To check, multiply 27 by 6.
228 27 × 6 = 162 > 124

– 216
124 27 × 5 = 135 > 124

– 108 27 × 4 = 108 < 124
16 Thus, the quotient in the ones place is 4.
124 – 108 = 16

Check: 4,984 ÷ 27 = 184, remainder = 16
(Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
= (27 × 184) + 16 = 4,968 + 16 = 4,984 = Dividend

Example 5: Divide 7,261 by 67 and check your answer.

Solution: 108
67 7261
– 67
56
– 00 56 < 67 and cannot be divided. So, we write 0 in the tens

561 place of the quotient.
