When you divide 1000 by 11 the first step which is the subtracting 99 from 100 the remainder is 10 so the dividend becomes 9 with remainder 10 which i am getting but it is 90 with remainder 10?

Answer 1

Look at the number 1000 and the number 11. Will 11 go into a number made of just the first digit of 1000 (which is 1). The answer is no, so you try to see if 11 will go into a number made of the first two digits of 1000 (which is 10). The answer is no, so try to see if 11 will go into a number made of the first three digits of 1000 (which is 100). The answer is yes. It goes 9 times. So write 99 below the first three digits of 1000. Subtract 99 from the 100 just above it. Remember the quotient is so far 9. Subtract 99 from the 100 just above it (the first three digits of 1000). You get a remainder of 1. Now bring down the last zero of 1000 and tack it to the right of the 1. You see a 10. Can 11 go into 10. No. So add a zero to the right of the quotient you already have to make it 90. For every digit you bring down from the original number you have to account for it in the quotient, whether it is zero or not. There are no more digits in 1000 so the last 10 you had is the remainder.

Answer 2

When dividing 1000 by 11, the first step should be to subtract 99 from 1000, not 100. This leaves you with a remainder of 10, which is correct. The next step would be to bring down the next digit, which is 0, making the new dividend 100. Dividing 100 by 11 gives you a quotient of 9 with a remainder of 1, not 10. Therefore, the correct result is 90 with a remainder of 10.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, math can be such a trip sometimes, right? So, when you divide 1000 by 11, you first subtract 99 from 1000, which gives you 901. Then, you divide 901 by 11, which equals 81 with a remainder of 10. So, the answer is 81 with a remainder of 10. Math, man, always keeping us on our toes!
