Question

when 1580 is divided into 13 equal parts, the remainder is 7. What is the correct way to write the quotient

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1580}{13} = 121 + \frac{7}{13}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the division algorithm formula is

m = pq + r, where m is the dividend, p is the divisor , q is the quotient and r the remainder.

Now, the quotient m/p will be written as

$\frac{m}{p} = \frac{pq}{p} + \frac{r}{p}$

$\frac{m}{p} = q + \frac{r}{p}$.

We have that 1580/13= 121.53, 121 is the quotient, then

1580 = 13*121+7 and

$\frac{1580}{13} = 121 + \frac{7}{13}$.
