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
Step 1: To divide by 4, halve twice
Step 2: Half of 796 = 398
Step 3: Half of 398 = 199
Step 4: Therefore, 796 ÷ 4 = 199
