Question

I divided 575 by 14 using partial quotients. what is the quotient?

Answer 1

Partial quotient is an easy step by step method where partial answer is obtained in each step.

Here the divisor is 14. So, let's multiply 14 with 10.

Hence, 14*10=140

Given dividend= 575.

Now subtract 140 from 575.

1)So, 575- 140 = 435

Notice 140 further goes from 435. Let's subtract another 140 from 435 and we can keep repeating this method till it won't further goes.

2)435-140=295

3)295-140=155

4)155-140= 15

Now 140 cannot taken out from 15. But we can take out simply 14 from 15.

5)Hence, 15-14 =1

So, the partial quotient is 10+10+10+10+1= 41.

So, the quotient is 41.
