Find the quotient, when 
Example Question #253 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Solve the expression.
We can re-write the expression using division.
We need to use order of operations to solve. First, evaluate the parenthesis.
In the first parenthesis, we need to multiply before we add.
Finally, we can divide. Remember that a positive divided by a negative is a negative.

28
44
24
28
The only number here that can be evenly divided by 7 is 28:
Example Question #91 : Operations
What number is divisible by 7 without a remainder?
First divide any of the answers by 7:
Which gives the answer of 285, with a remainder of 6. This is almost 7, so try a number slightly larger: 2002.
Which gives an answer of 286, with no remainder.
Example Question #6 : How To Divide
Which of the following is divisible by 4 (without a remainder)?
7,936
12,114
4,202
10,334
7,936
Because all multiples of 100 are divisible by 4, if the last 2 numbers are divisible by 4, the entire number is divisible by 4.
36 is divisible by 4, while 2, 14, and 34 are not. Therefore, 7,936 is the only number that is divisible by 4.
Example Question #256 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What is the quotient of 
A quotient is the result of a division problem.
Therefore, the quotient of 
Example Question #257 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Sarah has a box of cookies, and she wants to share them evenly with everyone in her class. She knows how many cookies she has and how many students are in the class. How does she figure out how many cookies, 
When someone is trying to share something equally among a group, it's a division problem. To calculate the cookies per student, divide the item shared (cookies) by the number of students.
