Question 28 of 60beginner🔧 ApplyNumerical2 marks

Solve: 256 ÷ 4

Correct Answer

Method 1: Halving Strategy Step 1: To divide by 4, halve twice. Step 2: Half of 256 = 128 Step 3: Half of 128 = 64 ∴ 256 ÷ 4 = 64

Method 2: Splitting Step 1: Split 256 = 240 + 16 Step 2: 240 ÷ 4 = 60 Step 3: 16 ÷ 4 = 4 Step 4: Sum = 60 + 4 = 64 ∴ 256 ÷ 4 = 64

Explanation

Using the halving strategy: Half of 256 is 128. Half of 128 is 64. So 256 ÷ 4 = 64. Alternatively, using splitting: 256 = 240 + 16, so 240 ÷ 4 = 60 and 16 ÷ 4 = 4, giving 60 + 4 = 64.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: To divide by 4, halve twice

  2. Step 2: Half of 256 = 128

  3. Step 3: Half of 128 = 64

  4. Step 4: Therefore, 256 ÷ 4 = 64
