To find the front-end approximation of the quotient, we only consider the leftmost digit of the dividend and divisor.
The leftmost digit of 947 is 9, and the leftmost digit of 81 is 8.
Therefore, the front-end approximation of the quotient is 9 ÷ 8 = 1.
To find the remainder, we multiply the front-end approximation of the quotient by the divisor and subtract it from the dividend:
Remainder = Dividend - (Front-end approximation of quotient × Divisor)
Remainder = 947 - (1 × 81)
Remainder = 947 - 81
Remainder = 866.
Therefore, the quotient of 947 divided by 81 is approximately 1 with a remainder of 866.
