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.

That quotient would be an imaginary number. The actual number depends on exactly what imaginary number you divide the 7 by.

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.

199 over 198 estimate = 1 actual answer would be greater than 1 35 over 17 estimate = 1 actual answer would be greater than 1

An upper bound estimate is a estimate that is greater than the actual solution.
Oh, dude, like, the compatible numbers for 308.3 divided by 15 would be 300 divided by 15, which is 20, and 8.3 divided by 15, which is approximately 0.55. So, yeah, those are the compatible numbers for that division problem. Cool, right?

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.
