How do you divide 947 divide by 11?

Answer 1

86.0909

Answer 2

To divide a bigger number by a smaller one, we move across the bigger number from left to right, asking how many of the smaller one can be taken away at each point. To start, the two leftmost numbers are 94. 11 can be taken away from this 8 times, leaving 6 in the tens column. This means there is an 8 in the tens column of the answer. We now move to the next two numbers, which are now a 6 and a 7. 11 can be taken away from 67 6 times with a remainder of one. Thus the answer is 86 remainder 1.
