Explanation

We can split 1560 into convenient parts: 1560 = 1600 - 40. Then 1600 ÷ 8 = 200 and 40 ÷ 8 = 5. So 1560 ÷ 8 = 200 - 5 = 195. Alternatively, we can halve three times since 8 = 2×22 \times 2 × 2.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Split 1560 as 1600 - 40

  2. Step 2: 1600 ÷ 8 = 200

  3. Step 3: 40 ÷ 8 = 5

  4. Step 4: 200 - 5 = 195
