Try this one on your calculator: 625 ÷ 50.
What do you notice about your answer? What does this tell you? Now let’s work out the answer without the calculator. 012
50 625 –500
125 –100
25
So the answer we get when we divide 625 by 50 is 12 R 25. But when you used your calculator, you should have got an answer of 12.5. 12.5 is the same as 12 R 25 because the remainder of 25 is 1
dividing by: 50. So 50 divides into 625 121 it’s 12.5.
