How many times does 3 go into 90000?

Answer 1

You can make this type of question easier for yourself by first getting rid of all those zeroes! Of course we will have to put them back again, but that is easy.

If we remove the zeroes (which is actually dividing 90,000 by 10,000) and then ask what is 9 divided by 3, the answer is easy, 3!

Now, we have taken away 4 zeroes so we have to put them back. This is the same as multiplying our answer (3) by 10,000. You see how we first divided by 10,000 and then multiplied by 10,000? When we add the 4 zeroes back to 3, this gives us 30,000.

So 3 goes into 90,000

30,000 times.
