Dividing a repeating 6-digit number by 13,
then
by 11
- Select a 3-digit number.
- Repeat these digits to make a 6-digit number.
- Divide these 6 digits by 13, then by 11.
- The answer is 7 times the first three digits!
Example:
- If the 3-digit number selected is 231:
- The 6-digit number is 231231.
- Divide by 13, then by 11:
7 x 231 = 1400 + 210 + 7 = 1617.
- So 231231 divided by 13, then 11 is 1617.
See the pattern?
- If the 3-digit number selected is 412:
- The 6-digit number is 412412.
- Divide by 13, then by 11:
7 x 412 = 2800 + 70 + 14 = 2884.
- So 412412 divided by 13, then 11 is 2884.
Remember to multiply left to right and add in increments. Then you will be able
to give these answers quickly and accurately.
