Lesson13

Division by 9
Division by 9 is also very easy and you can do it very fast
mentally

24 / 9 = 2 remainder 6
The first figure of 23 is 2, and this is the answer.
The remainder is just 2 and 3 added up!

42 / 9 = 4 remainder 6
The first figure 4 is the answer
and 4 + 3 = 7 is the remainder - could it be easier?

133 / 9 = 14 remainder 7
The answer consists of 1,4 and 7.
1 is just the first figure of 133.
4 is the total of the first two figures 1+ 3 = 4,
and 7 is the total of all three figures 1+ 3 + 3 = 7.
See one more example
1232 / 9 = 136 remainder 8

842 / 9 = 812 remainder 14 = 92 remainder 14

Actually a remainder of 9 or more is not usually
permitted because we are trying to find how
many 9's there are in 842.
Since the remainder, 14 has one more 9 with 5
left over the final answer will be 93 remainder 5
See one more example

123456 / 9 = 1361161 remainder 3 = 13717 remainder 3

Answer in decimal

Take above example 123456 / 9 = 13717 remainder 3

It is very very easy put decimal after 13717 write remainder 3 and repeat it again
and again .
13717 .3333333333333.. It is our required answer .
With the help of this concept we can solve some other problems
Take few examples
1234/81 = ???? It is just 1234 we divide 1234 by 9 two times and get
required answer
9x9
= 136 1 remainder 1
9
362/63 =?????? 362
9x7

= 137.1111111
9

=1 41.23456 =15.23456

31 0 remainder 2 = 4 0.222222 = 5.7460

7
7

489/45 = ????? Apply little presence of mind here ,Multiply 489 and 45 to 2
489x2 = 978 = 108remainder 6 = 108.66666 = 10.866666
45x2
