16)6,832

• 6,400

432

• 320

112

• 112

0

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze first subtraction

We know that $6400\div16 = 400$, so the first - partial quotient is 400.

Step2: Analyze second subtraction

We have $320\div16=20$, so the second - partial quotient is 20.

Step3: Analyze third subtraction

We have $112\div16 = 7$, so the third - partial quotient is 7.

Step4: Calculate the quotient

The quotient is the sum of the partial quotients, $400 + 20+7=427$.

Answer:

The partial quotients are 400, 20, 7 and the quotient is 427.
