Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll use the long division method to divide 7714 7714 by 7 7 :

1. Consider the first digit of the dividend, 7 7 . How many times does 7 7 go into 7 7 ? It fits 1 time.

2. Write 1 1 in the quotient and subtract 7×1=7 7 \times 1 = 7 from the digit to get 0 0 . Next, bring down the next digit, which is 7 7 , making the number 07 07 .

3. Determine how many times 7 7 fits into 07 07 . It fits no times, so write 0 0 in the quotient, resulting in 10 10 in the quotient so far. Bring down the next digit 1 1 , making it 71 71 .

4. How many times does 7 7 go into 71 71 ? It fits 10 times. Write a 1 1 in the quotient next to the existing one, making 110 110 .

5. Subtract 7×10=70 7 \times 10 = 70 , resulting in 1 1 . Bring down the next digit 4 4 , making it 14 14 .

6. How many times does 7 7 go into 14 14 ? It fits 2 times. Write 2 2 in the quotient, yielding a final quotient of 1102 1102 .

Subtract 7×2=14 7 \times 2 = 14 from 14 14 , resulting in a remainder of 0 0 , indicating division is complete with no remainder.

Therefore, the quotient when 7714 7714 is divided by 7 7 is 1102 1102 .

1102 1102

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Process: Divide each digit group from left to right systematically
  • Technique: When 7 goes into 7 once, write 1 and subtract to get 0
  • Check: Multiply quotient by divisor: 1102 × 7 = 7714 ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Forgetting to write zeros in quotient when divisor doesn't fit
    Don't skip writing 0 when 7 doesn't go into 7 (after first step) = missing place values! This shifts all digits and gives completely wrong answers. Always write 0 in the quotient to maintain proper place value positions.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

Why do I write 0 in the quotient when 7 doesn't go into 7?

+

After the first division step, you have remainder 0 and bring down the next 7. Since 7 goes into 7 exactly once, you might think to write 1. But you already used that first 7! The new 7 in position represents 70s, and 7 goes into 7 (in the 10s place) zero times.

How do I know where to place each digit in my answer?

+

Place value is crucial! Start from the leftmost digit of the dividend. Each quotient digit goes directly above the corresponding dividend digit you're working with. Never skip positions!

What if I get confused about which digit to bring down next?

+

Always work left to right through the dividend. After each division step, bring down the very next digit that hasn't been used yet. Write it next to your remainder to form the new number to divide.

How can I check if my long division is correct?

+

Multiply your quotient by the divisor: 1102×7 1102 \times 7 . If you get back to 7714 7714 , your answer is correct! This is the best way to verify long division.

What does it mean when I get remainder 0?

+

A remainder of 0 means the division is exact - the dividend divides evenly by the divisor with no leftover amount. This makes 7714÷7=1102 7714 \div 7 = 1102 a perfect division!
