  1. 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.
