What is the estimate quotient of 580 divided by 3?

Answer 1

193.3333

Answer 2

That depends on how you choose to estimate this. 580 is close to 600, so you might reason that, because 600 ÷ 3 = 200, the answer is near 200. You might also note that 580 is not divisible by 3, but 570 is (the sum of the digits, 12, is divisible by 3). 570 is closer to the original number than 600, so you could say that 570 ÷ 3 = 190, and the answer is close to 190.

If you compute the exact answer, it's 193 and 1/3, which is close to 200, and even closer to 190.
