Because 4 is less than 9.
There is no way for it to divide evenly and that's to divide by 9.
Think about it. The only way to get a number in the thousands place is to have a 9 as the first number (assuming it's still a three digit number)

You can use estimation and place value to help you figure out where to place the first digit.
425 is less than 100*9 = 900 so the first digit of the quotient cannot be in the hundreds (or higher) place. 425 is greater than (or equal to) 10*9 = 90 so the first digit of the quotient cannot be in the units (or lower) place. That only leaves the tens place.
well....I don't know much....so i will think of it later.... SORRY
An estimation, like 600 divided by 6, will show you that the answer should be around 100, not 10 or 1000.
