7,020 divided by 27
Start with this:
_____
27)7020
The first digit 2 of 27 goes into 7, the first digit of 7030, about 3
times, so we try 3, multiply 3 by 27:
3
27)7020
81
No 3 won't work because 81 is larger than 70. So we erase the 3
and reduce it to 2:
2
27)7020
54
Now that's OK because 54 is smaller than 70. So we draw a
line and subtract and get 16
2
27)7020
54
16
Now bring down the 2 beside the 16, making it 162
2
27)7020
54
162
Now the first digit, 2, of 27, doesn't go into 1, the first
digit of 162, so we notice that the first digit of 2 goes into
the first TWO digits of 162, 16, 8 times. So we try 8, We put 8
to the right of the 2 on top:
28
27)7020
54
162
We multiply the 8 by the 27 and get 216, but that's bigger than
162, so we try 7
27
27)7020
54
162
We multiply the 7 by the 27 and get 189, but that's also bigger than
162, so we try 6
26
27)7020
54
162
We multiply the 6 by the 27 and get 162. Now that's OK because
162 is not greater than 162. So we draw a line and subtract and get 0
and put that underneath
26
27)7020
54
162
162
0
Now we bring down the final 0
26
27)7020
54
162
162
00
The first digit 2 of 27 2 goes into 0 0 times, so
we put 0 up by the 6 in the top:
260
27)7020
54
162
162
00
Multiply the 0 by the 27 and get 00 and place it
at the bottom, draw a line and subtract and get 0
260
27)7020
54
162
162
