Given the values:
524 ÷ 9
Estimate the quotient.
Solution:
In order to determine the quotient, we simply divide the number, In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is 524, and it is divided by 9 which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.
= 524 ÷ 9
= 58.2222…
Since we have a repeating decimal, we can either equate it with a repeating word enclosed with a parenthesis, a dash line or an ellipsis. In our case we will use the ellipsis.
Final answer:
= 58.2222…
