Q1.
(a) 256 ÷ 4
Answer

256 ÷ 4 = 64.

  1. Split 256 into 240 + 16.
  2. 240 ÷ 4 = 60.
  3. 16 ÷ 4 = 4.
  4. 60 + 4 = 64.
Check by a second route: Halve twice — 256 → 128 → 64. Same answer ✓  And 4 × 64 = 256 ✓
Q2.
(b) 545 ÷ 5
Answer

545 ÷ 5 = 109.

  1. Split 545 into 500 + 45.
  2. 500 ÷ 5 = 100.
  3. 45 ÷ 5 = 9.
  4. 100 + 9 = 109.
Check: 5 × 109 = 545 ✓
Q3.
(c) 147 ÷ 7
Answer

147 ÷ 7 = 21.

  1. Split 147 into 140 + 7.
  2. 140 ÷ 7 = 20.
  3. 7 ÷ 7 = 1.
  4. 20 + 1 = 21.
Check: 7 × 21 = 147 ✓
Q4.
(d) 1212 ÷ 6
Answer

1212 ÷ 6 = 202.

  1. Split 1212 into 1200 + 12.
  2. 1200 ÷ 6 = 200.
  3. 12 ÷ 6 = 2.
  4. 200 + 2 = 202.
Check: 6 × 202 = 1,212 ✓  Notice there are 0 tens in the answer — 200 and 2, nothing in between.
Q5.
(e) 648 ÷ 12
Answer

648 ÷ 12 = 54.

  1. Split 648 into 600 + 48.
  2. 600 ÷ 12 = 50 (because 12 × 5 = 60, so 12 × 50 = 600).
  3. 48 ÷ 12 = 4.
  4. 50 + 4 = 54.
Check by a second route: 12 is 4 × 3. Halve 648 twice: 648 → 324 → 162, then 162 ÷ 3 = 54. Same answer ✓  And 12 × 54 = 648 ✓
Q6.
(f) 9648 ÷ 48
Answer

9648 ÷ 48 = 201.

  1. Split 9648 into 9600 + 48.
  2. 9600 ÷ 48 = 200 (because 48 × 2 = 96, so 48 × 200 = 9600).
  3. 48 ÷ 48 = 1.
  4. 200 + 1 = 201.
Check: 48 × 201 = 9600 + 48 = 9,648 ✓
Q7.
(g) 775 ÷ 25
Answer

775 ÷ 25 = 31.

  1. Split 775 into 750 + 25.
  2. 750 ÷ 25 = 30 (because 25 × 3 = 75, so 25 × 30 = 750).
  3. 25 ÷ 25 = 1.
  4. 30 + 1 = 31.
Check: 25 × 31 = 775 ✓  Tip: Four 25s make 100, so ₹775 is 31 coins of ₹25.
Q8.
(h) 796 ÷ 4
Answer

796 ÷ 4 = 199.

796 is very close to 800, so use the take away split.

  1. Write 796 = 800 − 4.
  2. 800 ÷ 4 = 200.
  3. 4 ÷ 4 = 1.
  4. 200 − 1 = 199.
Check by a second route: Halve twice — 796 → 398 → 199. Same answer ✓  And 4 × 199 = 796 ✓
