60 ÷ 5 =

Explanation

To divide 60 by 5, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 5 into 6, which gives us 1 with a remainder of 1. We then bring down the 0 from 60 and divide 5 into 10, which gives us 2. Therefore, the quotient is 12.

4. Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.
(calculators are not permitted)

32 ÷ 2 =

Explanation

To divide 32 by 2, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 3 (the first digit of 32) by 2, which gives us 1. We then multiply 1 by 2, which gives us 2, and subtract it from 3 to get 1. We bring down the next digit, 2, and divide 12 by 2, which gives us 6. We then multiply 6 by 2, which gives us 12, and subtract it from 12 to get 0. Therefore, the quotient is 16.

5. Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.
(calculators are not permitted)

72 ÷ 3 =

Explanation

To divide 72 by 3, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 7 (the first digit of 72) by 3, which equals 2. Then we multiply 2 by 3, which equals 6, and subtract it from 7 to get 1. We bring down the next digit, 2, and divide it by 3, which equals 0. We then multiply 0 by 3, which is 0, and subtract it from 2, leaving us with 2. Since there are no more digits to bring down, our final answer is 24.

7. Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.
(calculators are not permitted)

10840 ÷ 20 =

Explanation

To divide 10840 by 20, start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (1) by the divisor (20). Since 1 is smaller than 20, the quotient is 0. Bring down the next digit (0) and divide it by 20. Again, the quotient is 0. Bring down the next digit (8) and divide it by 20. The quotient is 0. Finally, bring down the last digit (4) and divide it by 20. The quotient is 2. Therefore, the answer is 542.

Submit
8. 64 ÷ 8 = 7
(True or False)

Explanation

The given division equation is 64 ÷ 8 = 7. However, this is incorrect. When 64 is divided by 8, the result is actually 8, not 7. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
