Quotient

Divisor Dividend Quotient

Let us divide 72 by 8. Divisor 8 72 Dividend

Step 1: Write 72 ÷ 8 as shown.
9
Step 2: Recall the multiplication table 9 8 72

of 8 till you get the number 72. 8 72 – 72
Write 9 in place of quotient. 0

Step 3: 8 × 9 = 72. Write 72 below 72 and subtract to get zero.
So, 72 ÷ 8 = 9.

Find the quotient.

36 ÷ 6 = 35 ÷ 5 = 40 ÷ 4 = 21 ÷ 3 =

6 36 5 35 4 40 3 21

8 ÷ 8 = 24 ÷ 3 = 32 ÷ 8 = 21 ÷ 7 =

8 8 3 24 8 32 7 21

27 ÷ 3 = 45 ÷ 5 = 15 ÷ 3 = 6 ÷ 2 =

3 27 5 45 3 15 2 6
