Exercise 14 Page 17

To divide 5841 by 62, we first make an estimation. Since 5841 and 62 are close to 5800 and 60, these numbers seem good to use for our estimation. 5820 ÷ 60 = 97

The quotient of 5841 and 62 is about 97, so the first digit of the quotient will be in the tens place. We calculate the actual quotient by following four steps.

1. Divide
2. Multiply
3. Subtract
4. Compare

Next, we bring down the ones and repeat the steps as needed until the remaining number is less than the divisor.

Finally, we have that 5, 841÷ 62 is 94 R13. We know that the answer is reasonable because 94 is close to our estimate.
