In division of four-digit by a one-digit numbers are discussed here step by step.
How to divide 4-digit numbers by single-digit numbers?
Let us follow the examples to learn to divide 4-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.
Divide and find the quotient:
(i) 3408 ÷ 3
(ii) 6585 ÷ 5
(iii) 4107 ÷ 6
(iv) 7608 ÷ 8
Solution:
The same procedure will be adopted to divide a 4-digit number by a single digit number.
(i) 3408 ÷ 3

3 x 1Th = 3Th, 1Th is the quotient
3 x 1H = 3H, 3 x 2H = 6H, 1H is the quotient
3 × 3T = 9T, 3 x 4T = 12T, 3T is the quotient
3 × 6 = 18, 6 is the quotient
Verification
3 × 1136 + 0 = 3408 + 0 = 3408
So, result is verified.
Quotient = 1136
or,

Instead of 3000, we put 3
Instead of 300, we put 3
Instead of 90 we put 9
(ii) 6585 ÷ 5

(i) 5 × 1Th = 5Th. 1Th is quotient
6Th – 5Th = 1Th
(ii) 5 × 3H = 15H, 3 H is quotient
(iii) 5 × 1T = 5T, 1T is quotient
(iv) 8T – 5T = 3T, 5 is carried down
5 × 7 = 35, 7 will be quotient
Quotient = 1317
Verification = 5 × 1317 + 0 = 6585 + 0 = 6585.
Result is verified.
(iii) 4107 ÷ 6

Quotient = 684 Remainder = 3
(i) 4 < 6, So, 41 is taken for division
6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 7 = 42,
6H will be quotient.
(ii) 50 is taken for division
6 × 8 = 48, 6 x 9 = 54,
8T is the quotient.
(iii) 27 is taken for division
6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 5 = 30
Therefore, 4 is the quotient.
Verification = 6 × 684 + 3 = 4104 + 3 = 4107.
So, result is verified.
(iv) 7608 ÷ 8

Quotient = 951 Remainder = 0
(i) 7 < 8, So 76 is taken for division
8 × 9 = 72, 8 × 10 = 80
9H is quotient.
(ii) 76 – 72 = 4,
40 T is taken for division, 8 × 5 = 40
5T is quotient.
(iii) 08 is taken for division
8 × 1 = 8, 8 × 2 = 16,
1 is quotient.
Verification = 8 × 951 + 0 = 7608 + 0 = 7608.
Result is verified.
(v) 9575 ÷ 5

Check:
quotient × divisor = dividend
1915 × 5 = 9575
(vi) 74768 ÷ 7
Check:
quotient × divisor + remainder = dividend
1681 × 7 + 1 = 74768
