Division
Division: distribution of a quantity into some parts such that each of the parts contains equal amount is called division.
Dividend: The number which is divided. Divisor: The number by which other number is divided.
Quotient: Number of times by which the divisor is multiplied to get equal to dividend.
Remainder: The number which is left after subtraction
Divide 4575 by 20 .

How to Perform Division
Consider first digit of the dividend from left.
Condition 1: When the first digit is greater than or equal to the divisor:
Step 1: Multiply the divisor by a number such that the product is closest to the number but not greater.
Step 2: Write the multiplier in the quotient side and the product below the number and subtract.
Step 3: Bring down the second digit of the dividend and write it right to the difference.
Step 4: Now compare the formed number with the divisor. If the number is greater than divisor, follow the above steps. If the number is smaller than the divisor multiply the divisor by 0 and follow above steps. Continue the process till all the digits of the dividend is brought down.
Condition 2: When the first digit is smaller than the divisor, Step 1: Multiply the divisor by 0 and follow the above steps.
Note: If the number formed by first two digits of the dividend is also smaller than divisor, multiply the divisor by 0 and follow the above steps.
Word Problems Based on Division
Arwin types 66 words in a minute, the average number of letter in a word is 6. If he types for 10 hours, how many times can he type the word "mathematics"?
(a) 21600 times
(b) 19200 times
(c) 15200 times
(d) 25200 times
(e) None of these
Answer: (a)
Explanation
Arwin types 66 words in a minute and the average number of letter in a word is 6 Therefore, total number of letters he types in a minute \[=66\times 6=396\] Thus, in 10 hours he can type \[=396\times 60\times 10\] letters = 237600 letters The word "mathematics" contains 11 letters. Therefore, total number of times he can type the word "mathematics" \[=\frac{237600}{11}=21600.\]
There are 72575 mangoes. They are to be packed into boxes. If each box contains 25 mangoes, find the number of required boxes.
(a) 2225
(b) 3000
(c) 2903
(d) 7125
(e) None of these
Answer: (c)
Explanation
Total number of mangoes = 72575
Number of mangoes in one box = 25
Therefore, total number of boxes \[=\frac{72575}{25}=2903\]

Subtract 5896 from the difference between 98456 and 2999
(a) 45897
(b) 48796
(c) 89561
(d) 48963
(e) None of these
Answer: (c)
Explanation
Difference between 98456 and 2999 = 98456 - 2999 = 95457
Now subtract 5896 from 95457
Thus 95457-5896=89561
If B = 456, find the value of A in the equation A - 2B = 3B
(a) 912
(b) 1368
(c) 456
(d) 2280
(e) None of these
Answer: (d)
Explanation
Given B = 456, Therefore, \[2B=2\times 456=912,\]and \[3B=3\times 456=1368\] Now put the value of 2B and 3B in the equation Thus A - 912 = 1368, A = 912 + 1368 A =2280
