What is a strategy for dividing 428 by 107?

Step-by-step explanation:

428÷107

Use the 1 st

 digit 4 from dividend 428

107)1

107)428

Since 4 is less than 107, use the next digit 2 from dividend 428 and add 0 to the quotient

107)02

107)428

Use the 2nd

 digit 2 from dividend 428

107)03

107)428

Since 42 is less than 107, use the next digit 8 from dividend 428 and add 0 to the quotient

107)004

107)428

Use the 3rd

 digit 8 from dividend 428

107)005

107)428

Find closest multiple of 107 to 428. We see that 4×107=428 is the nearest. Now subtract 428 from 428 to get reminder 0. Add 4 to quotient.

107)0046

107)428

 107)428

 107)9990

 Since 0 is less than 107, stop the division. The reminder is 0. The topmost line 004 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 4.

Quotient: 4

Reminder: 0
