There are usually more zeros in dividends because it is more preferible that the larger number is in the dividends section

When do you use a placeholder zero in the quotient?

When you're quotient is in the hundredths place or more or when you're dividend or divisor has a placeholder zero as well.


What happens to the quotient when the dividend and divisor are mutiplied by the same number?

As long as the number is not zero, the quotient remains unchanged. If the multiplier is zero then the quotient is undefined.


What can you tell about two integers when their quotient is positive negative zero?

Their quotient is positive if the integers have the same sign;negative if the integers have different signs;zero if the dividend is zero (and the divisor is not).


How do you find the dividend with a divisor 7?

If there is no remainder, you can use the relation:dividend = divisor x quotient If you ONLY know the divisor, you don't have enough information; though you can make up any number for the quotient, and multiply them together to get the dividend.


How is the number of zeros in the quotient of 160 divided by 8 equals 20 related to the number of zeroes in the dividend?

They are the same. The quotient of the equation: 160/8 = 20 is 20, which has only one zero. The dividend of this equation is 160, which also has only one zero. Therefore they both have the same number of zeros


What is the quotient and remainder of 805 divided by 98483?

Quotient 0, remainder 805. Note that you will always get this pattern when you divide a smaller number by a larger one - i.e., the quotient will be zero, and the remainder will be the dividend.


Why is it necessary to put zero when the dividend has a remainder?

If it's long division then it is because the quotient will become a decimal number after its decimal point


What is the quotient of 0 divided by 5?

Undefined: You cannot divide by zero


Why is the quotient bigger than the dividend when dividing by a decimal?

The quotient of a division tell you how many times the divisor needs to be subtracted from the dividend to get a result of zero. eg 10 ÷ 2 = 5 tells you that 2 needs to be subtracted 5 times from 10 to get 0: (1) 10 - 2 = 8; (2) 8 - 2 = 6; (3) 6 - 2 = 4; (4) 4 - 2 = 2; (5) 2 - 2 = 0. With a divisor of 1, it can be subtracted exactly the same number of times as the dividend itself to get zero. With a divisor greater than 1, each subtraction removes more than 1 and so less subtractions that the dividend will be required. With a divisor less than 1 (and greater than 0) each subtraction removes less than 1; if it is subtracted the same number of times as the dividend there will be a remainder greater than zero which will require further subtractions before zero is reached. eg 3 ÷ 0.6: (1) 3 - 0.6 = 2.4; (2) 2.4 - 0.6 = 1.8; (3) 1.8 - 0.6 = 1.2 [still have 1.2 to go]; (4) 1.2 - 0.6 = 0.6; (5) 0.6 - 0.6 = 0 → 3 ÷ 0.6 = 5.


What is the dividend of zero?

You divide.


What does A quotient undefined?

A quotient is undefined if the divisor is zero.


How is the quotient 80000 divided by 2000 different from the quotient 80000 divided by 200 or 80000 divides by 20?

cause it has more zero
