Worked examples

Example 1: Basic division

Let's solve 100 ÷ 15 step by step:

1. 15 × 6 = 90 (which is less than 100)
2. 100 - 90 = 10 (this is the remainder)
3. Bring down a 0 to make it 100 (but we've already accounted for this)
4. 15 × 0.6 = 9 (add to previous 90 = 99)
5. 100 - 99 = 1 (new remainder)
6. Bring down another 0 to make it 10
7. 15 × 0.06 = 0.9 (add to previous 99 = 99.9)
8. 10 - 0.9 = 0.1 (new remainder)

This process continues indefinitely, resulting in 6.666...

Example 2: Practical application

Suppose you have 100 apples and want to divide them equally among 15 friends. Each friend would get approximately 6.666 apples. This means:

• 11 friends get 6 whole apples each (total 66 apples)
• The remaining 34 apples would be divided among the other 4 friends
