Example 3: Aman wants to fix 117 stamps equally in 13 pages of
his stamp album. How many stamps should he fix on
each page?
Solution: Number of stamps = 117
Number of pages = 13
∴ Number of stamps on each page = 117 ÷ 13
= 9 (Recall that 9 × 13 = 117)
Example 4: 12 items can be packed in a box. How many boxes are
needed to pack 5076 items?
Solution: For 12 items we need 1 box.
For 5076 items we need (5076 ÷ 12) boxes.
4 2 3
12 5 0 7 6
– 4 8
2 7
– 2 4
3 6
– 3 6
0 Thus we need 423 boxes.
Example 5: 4000 pens are to be packed into pouches with 15 pens
in each pouch. How many complete pouches can be
packed? How many pens are left behind?
Solution: For 15 pens we need 1 pouch.
Number of complete pouches = Quotient of 4000 ÷ 15.
The remainder will be the number of pens left behind.
