Let us learn and understand how to solve division today.
What are The Division
The process opposite to the process of multiplication is called division. When a number or digit is subtracted from a Number or Digit more than once, it is called division.
Number or digit is divided as many times as it is divided. Division is represented by the symbol (/ or ÷).
Example :-
- 4 ÷ 2 = 2
- 20 ÷ 4 = 5
- 50 ÷ 10 = 5
- 100 ÷ 5 = 20
Division Formulas
- Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
- Dividend – Remainder = Divisor × Quotient
- Dividend – remainder / quotient = divisor
Division Questions
Q.1 Find the least number which when divided by 9, 11, 13 leaves remainder 1, 3, 5 respectively?
A.1250
B.1260
C.1270
D.1280
Solution : According to question,
9 – 1, 11 – 3, 13 – 5
8, 8, 8
Hence LCM of 9, 11, 13 = 1258
So 1258 – 8
Ans. 1250
Q.2 What is the largest 5 digit number which is exactly divisible by 137?
A.99854
B.99873
C.99898
D.99846
Solution:- Largest 5 digit number = 99999
If 99999 is divided by 137, the remainder is 126.
Hence, required number = 99999 – 126
Ans. 99873
Q.3 In a division question, the quotient is 403 and if the divisor is 100 and the remainder is 58, then what is the dividend?
A.40338
B.40338
C.40348
D.40358
Solution: Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
= (100 × 403) + 58
= 40300 + 58
Ans. 40358
Q.4 A number multiplied by 2 is added to 16, the sum obtained is divided by 2 and then the original number is subtracted from the quotient obtained, then what is the remainder?
A.8
B.6
C.7
D.8
Solution : Let the original number be x
According to Question,
= x + 8
x + 8 – x = 8 (remainder)
Ans. 8
Q.5 If 2/7th of a number is 18, then what will be one third of that number?
A.19
B.21
C.23
D.25
Solution: Let the number be x.
2/7x = 18
x = (18 × 7 / 2)
x = 63
63 × 1/3
Ans. 21
Q.6 In a division problem, the quotient, dividend and remainder are 15, 940 and 25 respectively. What are the denominators?
A.31
B.50
C.60
D.61
Solution:- According to the question,
divisor = (dividend – remainder)/quotient
Divisor = (940 – 25)/15
Divisor = 915/15
divisor = 61
Answer:- 61
Q.7 On dividing 7765 by a number, the quotient is 45 and the remainder is 25. What are the denominators?
A.165
B.172
C.175
D.180
Solution:- According to the question,
divisor = (dividend – remainder)/quotient
Divisor = (7765 – 25)/45
Divisor = 7740/45
denominator = 172
Answer:- 172
Q.8 In a division, the divisor is 12 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 48, are they divisible by?
A.240
B.576
C.4800
D.4848
Solution:- According to the question,
divisor = 5 × remainder
Divisor = 5 × 48
divisor = 240
Quotient = 240/12
Quotient = 20
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Dividend = 240 × 20 + 48
Dividend = 4800 + 48
Dividend = 4848
Answer:- 4848
Q.9 A number is attended by 4, 5 and 6 alternately and the remainder is 2, 3 and 5 respectively. If the number in the last part 7 is
A 238
B 476
c 954
D 1908
Solution:- According to the question,
Number divided by 6 = 6 × 7 + 5 = 47
Number divided by 5 = 47 × 5 + 3 = 238
Number divided by 4 = 238 × 4 + 2 = 954
Answer:- 954

D.990
Solution:- According to the question,
Cost of 3 fans = 990
Cost of 1 fan = 990/3
= 330
Ans. 330
