Question

5,421÷77
solve.
77|5,421

Explanation:

Step1: Divide the first two - digits of dividend by divisor

We consider \(54\div77\). Since \(54<77\), we consider the first three - digits \(542\). \(542\div77\): \(77\times7 = 539\).

Step2: Subtract the product from the dividend

\(542-539 = 3\). Bring down the next digit \(1\) to get \(31\).

Step3: Find the remainder

Since \(31<77\), \(31\) is the remainder. And the quotient is \(70\).

Answer:

\(70\ R\ 31\)
