Division of Whole Numbers

Example 1: Dividing 105 by 8.

Solution:

Here 105 and 8 both are whole number. Now we divide dividend 105 by divisor 8 by following some steps,

• Take the dividend’s first digit from the left. Before that Check if this digit is larger or smaller than the divisor.If digit is smaller than the divisor then we will take first two digit from the left.
• Next, divide it by the divisor and write the result as the quotient on the top.
• Deduct the result from the digit and type the difference in the box below.
• Reduce the dividend by the next digit (If present).
• Carry on with the same procedure.

Dividing 105 by 8

In this example, 105 divided by 8 equals 13 with a remainder of 1.

By following these steps, you can effectively divide whole numbers and obtain accurate quotients. This fundamental arithmetic operation forms the basis for more complex mathematical calculations.

Example 2: Divide the whole number 845 by another whole number 8?

Solution:

Here 845 and 8 both are whole number. Now we divide dividend 845 by divisor 8 by following some steps:

• Take the dividend’s first digit from the left. Before that Check if this digit is larger or smaller than the divisor.If digit is smaller than the divisor then we will take first two digit from the left.
• Next, divide it by the divisor and write the result as the quotient on the top.
• Deduct the result from the digit and type the difference in the box below.
• Reduce the dividend by the next digit (If present).
• Carry on with the same procedure.

Dividing 845 by 8

Here, Dividend = 845

Divisor  = 8

Quotient = 15

Remainder = 5, all are whole numbers.

Whole numbers are a set of numbers that include all positive integers from 0 onward, without any fractions or decimals. They are represented by the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, including all natural numbers and zero.
