These expressions can be used to check the answer to division problems. Drag each expression to show whether it is a correct way to check either of the division problems below.
573 × 5 + 4
573 × 5
573 × 6
573 × 4
573 × 6 + 4
573 × 4 + 6
3,442 + 6 = 573 remainder 4
2,869 + 5 = 573 remainder 4

To check division problems, you can use multiplication along with remainders. For example, if you are dividing and find a quotient with a remainder, you can multiply the quotient by the divisor and then add the remainder to check your result.
Given the potential division problems, let’s determine if the provided expressions are correct checks:
1. 573 × 5 + 4: Correct, if the division problem gives a quotient of 5 and a remainder of 4.
2. 573 × 5: Not a correct check alone for focusing on a division involving remainders.
3. 573 × 6: Not correct for the current division as it doesn’t align with finding a remainder.
4. 573 × 4: Not correct for checking either division statement provided.
5. 573 × 6 + 4: Not a correct check as it exceeds the original number too much for division.
6. 573 × 4 + 6: Not correct, it doesn’t align with expected outcomes of simple division.
For the statements:
– 3,442 + 6 = 573 remainder 4: Correct, if 3442 divided by 573 results in 5 with a remainder of 4.
– 2,869 + 5 = 573 remainder 4: Not correct, as this doesn’t fit the center number of 573.
The best way to confirm the answers is to perform the division and check if those
