Sample set d

Use a calculator to perform each division.

328 ÷ 8 size 12{"328" div 8} {}

Type 328
Press ÷
Type 8
Press =

The display now reads 41.

730 , 019 , 001 ÷ 326 size 12{"730","019","001" div "326"} {}

We first try to enter 730,019,001 but find that we can only enter 73001900. If our calculator has only an eight-digit display (as most nonscientific calculators do), we will be unable to use the calculator to perform this division.

3727 ÷ 49 size 12{"3727" div "49"} {}

Type 3727
Press ÷
Type 49
Press =

The display now reads 76.061224.

This number is an example of a decimal number (see [link] ). When a decimal number results in a calculator division, we can conclude that the division produces a remainder.

21 , 996 , 385 , 287 ÷ 53 size 12{"21","996","385","287" div "53"} {}

Since the dividend has more than eight digits, this division cannot be performed on most nonscientific calculators. On others, the answer is 415,026,137.4

4, 558 ÷ 67 size 12{4,"558" div "57"} {}

This division results in 68.02985075, a decimal number, and therefore, we cannot, at this time, find the value of the remainder. Later, we will discuss decimal numbers.
