Complete the repeated subtraction below to find 576 ÷ 49.
The quotient is ____ with a remainder of ____.
To find 576 ÷ 49 using repeated subtraction, we repeatedly subtract 49 from 576 until we can no longer do so without going below zero.
1. Subtract 49 from 576:
– 576 – 49 = 527
2. Subtract 49 from 527:
– 527 – 49 = 478
3. Subtract 49 from 478:
– 478 – 49 = 429
4. Subtract 49 from 429:
– 429 – 49 = 380
5. Subtract 49 from 380:
– 380 – 49 = 331
6. Subtract 49 from 331:
– 331 – 49 = 282
7. Subtract 49 from 282:
– 282 – 49 = 233
8. Subtract 49 from 233:
– 233 – 49 = 184
9. Subtract 49 from 184:
– 184 – 49 = 135
10. Subtract 49 from 135:
– 135 – 49 = 86
11. Subtract 49 from 86:
– 86 – 49 = 37
12. Now, we cannot subtract 49 from 37 without going negative.
We can count how many times we subtracted 49: we subtracted it 11 times.
So
