Calculate 84 ÷ 4 by breaking apart the dividend.
Show answer & reasoning
Decompose 84 into convenient multiples of 4; the resulting quotients sum to 21.
Is 122 ÷ 2 closer to 60 or 80?
Show answer & reasoning
Compare compatible products with 2; the quotient is near 61, which is closer to 60.
Divide 5,188 by 6. Give the quotient and remainder.
Show answer & reasoning
5,188 = 6 × 864 + 4; the remainder 4 is less than 6.

Is 915 ÷ 4 closer to 230 or 250?
Show answer & reasoning
Compare compatible products with 4; the quotient is near 228, which is closer to 230.
Divide 1,825 by 6. Give the quotient and remainder.
Show answer & reasoning
1,825 = 6 × 304 + 1; the remainder 1 is less than 6.
1,476 pencils are packed 7 per box. How many full boxes can be filled, and how many pencils remain?
Show answer & reasoning
Group by 7: 1,476 = 210 full groups of 7, plus 6 left.
A club has 2,098 tickets. After buying 45 more, they bundle tickets into packs of 5. How many full packs and tickets left?
Show answer & reasoning
Add first: 2,143. Divide by 5: 428 packs, with 3 tickets remaining.
Calculate 84 ÷ 6 by breaking apart the dividend.
Show answer & reasoning
Decompose 84 into convenient multiples of 6; the resulting quotients sum to 14.
Estimate 2177 ÷ 5 to the nearest ten in the quotient.
Show answer & reasoning
The exact quotient has whole-number part 435; rounding that to the nearest ten gives 440.
Divide 2,547 by 7. Give the quotient and remainder.
Show answer & reasoning
2,547 = 7 × 363 + 6; the remainder 6 is less than 7.
787 pencils are packed 2 per box. How many full boxes can be filled, and how many pencils remain?
Show answer & reasoning
Group by 2: 787 = 393 full groups of 2, plus 1 left.
A club has 2,380 tickets. After buying 14 more, they bundle tickets into packs of 7. How many full packs and tickets left?
