Dividing a 2-digit number by 875

Follow the following Steps:

1. Select a 2-digit number.
2. Multiply it by 8.
3. Divide by 7.
4. Move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

   Example:1

1. The 2-digit number chosen to divide by 875
   is 31.
2. Multiply by 8: 31 × 8 = 248
3. Divide by 7: 248/7 = 35 3/7
4. Move the decimal point 3 places to the left: .035 3/7
5. So 31 divided by 875 = .035 3/7.

 Example:2

1. The 2-digit number chosen to divide by 875
   is 63.
2. Multiply by 8: 8 × 63 = 480 + 24 =
   480 + 20 + 4 = 500 + 4 = 504
3. Divide by 7: 504/7 = 72
4. Move the decimal point 3 places to the left: .072
5. So 63 divided by 875 = .072.
