Example 1.
Task.
Divide 92 into 1684 and write down the quotient and remainder.
| Keystrokes: | Display: | Write down: |
| [1684][M+][÷][92][=] | 18.304347 | 18 |
| [18][*][92][M-] | 1656 | |
| [MRC] | 28 | remainder 28 |
Answer: Division of 92 into 1684 returns a quotient of 18, and a remainder of 28.
Check the computation:
[18][*][92][+][28][=] returns 1684.
Example 2.
Task.
Divide 137 into 26010 and write down the quotient and remainder.
| Keystrokes: | Display: | Write down: |
| [26010][M+][÷][137][=] | 189.85401 | 189 |
| [189][*][137][M-] | 25893 | |
| [MRC] | 117 | remainder 117 |
Answer: If you divide 26010 by 137, you get a quotient of 189 and a remainder of 117.
Check the computation:
[189][*][137][+][117][=] gives 26010.
