The display now reads 648.
We first try to enter 730,019,001 but find that we can only enter 73001900. If our calculator has only an eight-digit display (as most nonscientific calculators do), we will be unable to use the calculator to perform this division.

The display now reads 76.061224.
This number is an example of a decimal number (see [link] ). When a decimal number results in a calculator division, we can conclude that the division produces a remainder.
Use a calculator to perform each division.
Since the dividend has more than eight digits, this division cannot be performed on most nonscientific calculators. On others, the answer is 415,026,137.4
This division results in 68.02985075, a decimal number, and therefore, we cannot, at this time, find the value of the remainder. Later, we will discuss decimal numbers.
For the following problems, perform the divisions.
The first 38 problems can be checked with a calculator by multiplying the divisor and quotient then adding the remainder.
For the following 5 problems, use a calculator to find the quotients.
