Let us see some illustrated examples.

Example 12: Divide 48796 by 52.

Solution: 9 3 8

52 4 8 7 9 6

– 4 6 8
1 9 9

– 1 5 6
4 3 6

– 4 1 6
2 0

Step 1: Think 48 ÷ 5. As 5 × 9 = 45 < 48

Now, multiply 52 × 9 = 468 < 487

Now, divide and we get Q = 9 and R = 19.

Step 2: Bring down 9 and think 19 ÷ 5.

As 5 × 3 = 15 < 19

Now multiply 52 × 3 = 156 < 199

Divide and we get Q = 3 and R = 43.

Step 3: Bring down 6 and think 43 ÷ 5.

As 5 × 8 = 40 < 43

Now, multiply 52 × 8 = 416 < 436

Divide and we get Q = 8 and R = 20.

Thus, 48796 ÷ 52 gives Q = 938 and R = 20.

Check: Quotient × Divisor + Remainder

= 938 × 52 + 20 = 48776 + 20 = 48796 → Dividend
