Question

How may this problem be checked?

Answer 1

It can be checked by multiplying the divisor 32 by the quotient 74

You can use pencil and paper to multiply, or a calculator

32*74 = 2368

We're 8 short of the goal of 2376, but notice how the remainder is 8. This is the amount to add on so we get to the goal of 2376

In other words,

32*74 + 8 = 2368+8 = 2376

You can think of it like having 2376 cookies and 32 friends. Each friend will get 74 cookies, and there will be 8 left over.
