Solve: 796 ÷ 4

Correct Answer

Given: 796 ÷ 4

Method 1: Halving Strategy Step 1: To divide by 4, halve twice Step 2: Half of 796 = 398 Step 3: Half of 398 = 199 ∴ 796 ÷ 4 = 199

Method 2: Splitting Strategy 796 = 800 - 4 800 ÷ 4 = 200 4 ÷ 4 = 1 200 - 1 = 199 ∴ 796 ÷ 4 = 199

Explanation

Using halving strategy: Half of 796 is 398. Half of 398 is 199. So 796 ÷ 4 = 199. Alternatively, using splitting: 796 = 800 - 4, so 800 ÷ 4 = 200 and 4 ÷ 4 = 1, giving 200 - 1 = 199.

Solution Steps

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

  2. Step 2: Half of 796 = 398

  3. Step 3: Half of 398 = 199

  4. Step 4: Therefore, 796 ÷ 4 = 199
