Jamal's Work

4638 รท 12

  _________

  3 8 6

12 | 4638

   - 36

   ----

     10

     -  0

     ----

     138

     - 132

     ----

       6

Answer: 386 R6

What Jamal Did:

  • He divided 46 correctly (got 3, subtracted 36, left 10).

  • Then, instead of bringing down the 3 to make 103,
    he treated it like 10 and brought down the 38 together.

  • This made his digits shift and caused him to get 386 R6 instead of 364 R6.
