Question

What is 80 divided by 10?

Answer 1

Hint: To obtain what will be the answer when we divide 80 by 10 we will use division operator. Firstly we will write the value as 80 divided by 10. Then we will divide the numerator and denominator by the same number till we get rid of the fraction and get a real number which will be our desired answer.

Complete step by step solution:
We have to divide 80 by 10.
So we can write the above value as follows:
$\dfrac{80}{10}$
Now we will firstly divide the numerator and denominator by 2 as below:
$\begin{align}
  & = \dfrac{\dfrac{80}{2}}{\dfrac{10}{2}} \\
 & = \dfrac{40}{5} \\
\end{align}$
Next we will divide the numerator and denominator by 5 as below:
$\begin{align}
  & = \dfrac{\dfrac{40}{5}}{\dfrac{5}{5}} \\
 & = \dfrac{8}{1} \\
 & = 8 \\
\end{align}$
As, we got a real number
Hence 80 divided by 10 is 8.

Note: When we divide a number by another number we are actually trying to find that how many times we have to subtract the number in denominator by number in numerator to get the value 0. We can also say that it is a method of distributing a group of things into equal parts. Division is very important arithmetic operator in mathematics that is used in very ways. It is an inverse operation of multiplication as multiplication means adding equal groups of things. It is usually denoted by $\backslash ,\div $ sign. A division process has three characters mainly name as Dividend, Divisor and Quotient. Where the number that is being divided is the dividend, the number which divides the dividend is Divisor and the answer obtained during the division process is known as Quotient.
