DIVISION ALGORITHM Suppose 75 is divided by 9, then the quotient is 8 and the          9) 75 ( 8                                                                 PROPERTIES OF DIVISION
                                                                                                - 72
                                                                                                   3                               (i) If a and b are nonzero whole numbers, then a + b is not always a whole number.
               remainder is 3. Clearly,
               75 = (9 × 8) + 3.                                                                                                   EXAMPLE:             We know that 7 and 2 are whole numbers.
               In general, let a and b be two given whole numbers such that a > b. On dividing a by b,                                                  But, 7 + 2 is not a whole number.
               let q be the quotient a Then, we have: a= bq +r, where Os; r < b.                                                   (ii) DIVISION BY 0 if a is a whole number, then a + 0 is meaningless.
               This result is known as division algorithm.                                                                         (iii) If a is a nonzero whole number, then o + a = o.
               Thus. dividend = (divisor x quotient) + remainder.
                                                                                                                                   EXAMPLE:             (i) 0 ÷ 3 = 0  (ii) 0 ÷ 57 = 0, etc.
        EVEN AND ODD WHOLE NUMBERS A whole number divisible by 2 is called an even
        number; e.g., 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, etc., are all even numbers.                                                                   1.Elephants                                       6.Bananas
        A whole number which is not divisible by 2 is called an odd number; e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc., are all odd
        numbers.

        EXAMPLE:  Find the number which when divided by 53 gives 8 as quotient and 5 as remainder.

        SOLUTION:  Given: divisor = 53, quotient= 8 and remainder = 5.
                              By division algorithm, we have:                                                                      3.Bears                                           8.Pencils
                              dividend = (divisor × quotient) + remainder
                                        = (53 × 8) + 5
                                        = (424 + 5) = 429.
                              Hence, the required number is 429.                                                                   4.Apples                                           9.Umbrellas
