Simple Division
1. State the problem: Compute $5890 \div 10$.
1. Work: Express the division and simplify.
Compute $5890 = 10 \times 589 + 0$.
Therefore $5890 \div 10 = 589$.
Final answer: $5890 \div 10 = 589$.
2. State the problem: Compute $6312 \div 12$.
2. Work: Recognize multiples of 12 and divide.
Compute $12 \times 526 = 6312$.
Therefore $6312 \div 12 = 526$.
Final answer: $6312 \div 12 = 526$.
3. State the problem: Compute $5528 \div 9$.
3. Work: Divide to find quotient and remainder.
Compute $9 \times 614 = 5526$ and remainder $5528 - 5526 = 2$.
So $5528 \div 9 = 614 \frac{2}{9}$.
As a decimal this is $614.\overline{2}$.
Final answer: $5528 \div 9 = 614 \frac{2}{9} = 614.\overline{2}$.
