Question

What is the quotient of 15015 by 15?

Answer 1

`1001`

Explanation:

We can rewrite `15015/15` as

`color(blue)(15000/15)+color(red)(15/15)`

This simplifies to

`color(blue)(1000)+color(red)(1)`

Which is

`1001`

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

1001

Explanation:

`15015 -:15`

Notice that the digits that are not 0's are both 15.

Lets split the 15015 (partition it) into `15000+15`

`15000 -:15 = 1000`
`ul(color(white)(150)15) -:15=ul(color(white)(100)1 larr" Add")`
`15015-:15=1001`

Answer 3

`1001`

Explanation:

`color(white)(....)color(white)(..)1001`
`15|overline15015`
`color(white)(.......)ul(15)`
`color(white)(..........)015`
`color(white)(..........)ul(015)`

`15015-:15 = 1001`
