876 divided by 21. You can use your knowledge of the base 10 system to say: 21X10=210(too small)

21X20=420(still too small)

21X30=630(let me subtract 876-630=246, I'm getting close)

21X40=840 and when I subtract I get a remainder of 36. I can make 1 more group of 21. 36-21=15. So my answer is 41 with a remainder of 15.

You can use multiples of 100,100, etc. for larger numbers.

is a method of dividing in which multiples of the divisor are subtracted from the dividend and then the quotients are added together?

Yes, the method you're describing is known as the "iterative subtraction method" for division. In this approach, you repeatedly subtract multiples of the divisor from the dividend until what remains is less than the divisor. The number of times you can subtract these multiples represents the quotient. This method is a fundamental concept in understanding division as repeated subtraction.


What is it called when a method of dividing in which multiples of the divisor or subtract it from the Dividend in and then the quotations are added together?

The method you are describing is called "repeated subtraction" or "long division." In this process, multiples of the divisor are subtracted from the dividend until what remains is less than the divisor, and the number of times the divisor was subtracted is recorded as the quotient. This method visually demonstrates how division works by breaking it down into manageable steps.


What is a strategy that can be used to divide called?

One strategy that can be used to divide is called long division. Long division is a method of dividing one number by another by repeatedly subtracting multiples of the divisor from the dividend. This process involves dividing the digits of the dividend one by one, starting from the left, and bringing down the next digit until the entire dividend is divided. Long division is a systematic approach that allows for accurate and efficient division of numbers.


What do factors and multiples have in common?

Yes, except at odd multiples of pi/2 radians, where the cosine is zero so that the division is not defined.

How do multiples relate to division?

I hope that by multiples you mean multiplication.So, take a variable x, then multiply it by ... 2, for example. You now have 2x. Now, divide 2x by two, you have x. When you think about it, division and multiplication don't seem to be direct opposites of each other (like + and -), but if you think more about it, you'll see they are. Proof: 10+2-2=10 and 10x2:2=10


What is the difference between dividing 16 by 2 and finding the square roots of 16?

The answer to the division is a number (8) that can be added to itself to make 16. The answer to the square root is a number (-4 or +4) that can be multiplied by itself to make 16.
