Division With Partial Quotients

A tailor has 641 yards of materials to make costumes. Each costume needs 3 yards of material. The tailor uses partial quotients to find how many costumes can be made. He finds only three partial quotients when he divides.

What are the three partial quotients that the tailor finds?

• 200, 10, 3

• 300, 10, 3

• 200, 10, 5

• 600, 30, 8

• 652

• 652 R2

• 625

• 625 R2

A method of dividing in which multiples of the divisor are subtracted from the dividend and then the quotients are added together.
