\large{DIVIDEND \div DIVISOR = {?}}
\large{DIVIDEND \div DIVISOR = {?}}
We prefer to divide by a whole number.
To make an equivalent equation with a whole number divisor, we can multiply both numbers by MULTIPLE
.
\large{DIVIDEND \div DIVISOR =
(DIVIDEND \times MULTIPLE) \div (DIVISOR \times MULTIPLE)}
\large{\phantom{DIVIDEND \div DIVISOR} =
DIVIDEND * MULTIPLE \div MULTIPLE * DIVISOR}
\large{\phantom{DIVIDEND \div DIVISOR} = QUOTIENT}
