To estimate \( 63,421 \div 87 \), you can round the numbers to make the division easier.
1. **Round 63,421** to the nearest thousand: \( 63,421 \approx 63,000 \).
2. **Round 87** to the nearest ten: \( 87 \approx 90 \).
Now divide the rounded numbers:
\[
63,000 \div 90
\]
To simplify this calculation, you can divide both numbers by 10:
\[
6,300 \div 9
\]
Now perform the division:
\[
6,300 \div 9 \approx 700
\]
Thus, an estimate for \( 63,421 \div 87 \) is about **700**.
