Question

Divide the largest 5 digit number by 653. Check your answer by the division algorithm.

Answer 1

Largest five-digit number = 99999

Dividend = 99999, Divisor = 653, Quotient = 153 and Remainder = 90
Check: Divisor ×Quotient + Remainder
= 653 × 153 + 90
= 99909 + 90
= 99999
= Dividend
∴ Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
