∙ 10y agoThe answer will depend on how you estimate (and why).
If you go for 540/8 = 270/4 = 135/2 = 67.5 your estimate is greater than the true value which is 67.125.
If you go for 8 = 2*2*2 so division by 8 is the same as halving three times, you will get 537/2 = 268.5, 268/2 = 134 and 134/2 = 67 which is less than the actual quotient.
Division by 8 is simple enough to do anyway so I do not really see why you need an "estimate".

How does one estimate a quotient using compatible numbers?
The best way to estimate a quotient using compatible numbers is to first understand how compatible numbers work. They are numbers that are close in value to the actual numbers and are easily added, subtracted or divided.

What does 7 divided by imaginary number equal?
That quotient would be an imaginary number. The actual number depends on exactly what imaginary number you divide the 7 by.
When you round both factors in a multiplication problem up how does your estimate compare to a greater number?
When you round both factors in a multiplication problem up, your estimate will be greater than the actual product.

How does estimating the quotient help you place the first digot?
Example 617 divided by 6. If you estimate that 600 divided by 6 is 100, you know that the actual answer will have a 1 in the hundreds place.

Estimate 199 over198 plus 35 over 17 indicating if the actual answer is greater than or less the estimate?
199 over 198 estimate = 1 actual answer would be greater than 1 35 over 17 estimate = 1 actual answer would be greater than 1
What is the upper bound estimate?

How can you estimate the quotient help you check your answer for reasonableness?
Suppose at some point in your life you wanted to know the answer of 29 divided by 14. If you can estimate in your head that 30 divided by 15 is 2, you would expect the answer to be somewhere around two. Since 14 is a little less than half, you would expect the answer to be a little bit more than two. The actual answer of 29/14 is 2.07.
How do you estimate In divison?
To estimate the quotient, we first round off the divisor and the dividend to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then divide the rounded numbers. In a division sum, when the divisor is made up of 2 digits or more than 2 digits, it helps if we first estimate the quotient and then try to find the actual number.
Why would you want your estimate to be greater that the actual amount?
If you were a car mechanic and your actual amount came in lower than the estimate, your customer would think he or she got a good deal.
