                    Division can be checked by the following method.
                                  Quotient × Divisor + Remainder = Dividend

                    Example. Check whether the following division is correct.
                                                         9     Quotient

                    Solution.  Let us find:                                                   smaller than the divisor.
                                 Quotient × Divisor + Remainder = Dividend

                                                         9 × 5 + 3 = 48
                                                                                                 "When a number is
                                                            45 + 3 = 48                       divided by 1, the quotient
                                                                 48 = 48                        is the number itself".

                    Thus, the division is correct.

                    Division of a 2-digit number

                    Example 1. Divide 68 by 2. Check your answer.
                    Solution.

                    Step 1.  Arrange the numbers in the long division form.                                            T O

                    Step 2.  Divide 6 tens by 2. 6 tens ÷ 2 = 3 tens
                               Write 3 in the tens place in the quotient.                                        2     6 8

                                                                                                                  97
