Division question and how to solve it

 

Here's an example of a division question and its solution:

Question: 48 ÷ 6 = ?

Solution:

Method: Repeated Subtraction

1. Start with 48

2. Subtract 6: 48 - 6 = 42

3. Subtract 6 again: 42 - 6 = 36

4. Subtract 6 again: 36 - 6 = 30

5. Subtract 6 again: 30 - 6 = 24

6. Subtract 6 again: 24 - 6 = 18

7. Subtract 6 again: 18 - 6 = 12

8. Subtract 6 again: 12 - 6 = 6

9. Subtract 6 again: 6 - 6 = 0

We reached 0 in 8 steps, so the quotient is 8.

Answer: 48 ÷ 6 = 8

Alternatively, you can use the standard division algorithm:

48 ÷ 6 = ?

1. Divide: 48 ÷ 6 = ?

2. Multiply: 6 x 8 = 48

3. Subtract: 48 - 48 = 0

4. Bring down: None (since we reached 0)

Answer: 48 ÷ 6 = 8
