Question

________
dividing without using long division: 6 ) 4598
how do you do it without using division or multiplication

Answer 1

well, one way is to keep subtracting 6 from the number and count how many times you did that

Answer 2

what do you mean by that.. can you like show it to me.. once
please thanks

Answer 3

lets say you wanted to divide 18 by 6, then the steps would be as follows:

1. 18 - 6 = 12
2. 12 - 6 = 6
3. 6 - 6 = 0 (finished)

so answer is 3 because we subtracted 6 a total of 3 times

Answer 4

Thankyou!! :)

Answer 12

so, for example, add 6 to itself 10 times and you will get 60

then see how many times you can subtract 60 from 4598

Answer 13

76 r 2

Answer 14

or even this:

1. add 6 to itself 10 times to get 60
2. add 60 to itself 10 times to get 600
3. add 600 to itself 7 times to get 4200

Answer 15

then use these groups to subtract bigger chucks out of your number until you can no longer subtract anything else

Answer 16

BTW: 766 r2

Answer 17

do you see how creating a larger group will reduce the number of operatons you need to do?
