DIVISION ALGORITHM Suppose 75 is divided by 9, then the quotient is 8 and the   9) 75 ( 8   PROPERTIES OF DIVISION

 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


 EXAMPLE:  Divide 535 by 31 and check the result by the division algorithm.

 SOLUTION:  By actual division, we have:

          dividend = 535, divisor = 31, quotient = 1 7 and remainder = 8.           (natural number) (natural number) (natural number)
 CHECK      (31 × 17) + 8 = 527 + 8 = 535.
          Hence, the above result is correct.  EXAMPLE 2:  20  +  20  =  40

 EXAMPLE 3. Divide 53068 by 25 7 and check the result by the division algorithm.           (natural number) (natural number) (natural number)
 SOLUTION:  By actual division, we have:

          dividend= 53068, divisor= 257, quotient = 206 and remainder = 126.            (natural number) (natural number)    (zero)
 CHECK      (257 × 206) + 126 = 52942 + 126 = 53068.
          Hence, the above result is correct.
