Question

how can you find the first digit in the quotient?
divide 40 by 11. the first digit
goes in the tens place.
$\begin{array}{r} ?\\ 11enclose{longdiv} {407}end{array}$
how many times does 11 go into 40?
$square$ times, with a remainder of ?

Explanation:

Step1: Find how many times 11 fits into 40

We know that \( 11\times3 = 33 \) and \( 11\times4=44 \). Since \( 44>40 \), 11 fits into 40 3 times.

Step2: Calculate the remainder

To find the remainder, we subtract the product of 11 and 3 from 40. So, \( 40 - 11\times3=40 - 33 = 7 \).

Answer:

The number of times is 3, and the remainder is 7. So the first box is 3 and the second box is 7.
