Question

solve the following with pen and paper.
9 \overline{) 8 \quad 2 \quad 6}
hint: the carry digit has already been filled in.

Explanation:

Step1: Divide hundreds digit by 9

$8 \div 9 = 0$, so we move to the next digit, combining 8 and 2 to make 82.

Step2: Divide 82 by 9

$9 \times 9 = 81$, so the first quotient digit is 9. Subtract: $82 - 81 = 1$ (this is the given carry digit).

Step3: Bring down the 6

Combine the carry 1 with 6 to get 16.

Step4: Divide 16 by 9

$9 \times 1 = 9$, so the second quotient digit is 1. Subtract: $16 - 9 = 7$, which is the remainder.

Answer:

9 1 r 7
