create up to 5 or more smaller friendly equations to solve 543 divided by 15

Question

no decimals, no fractions, only division, no remainders

Answer 1

To break down the division of 543 by 15 into smaller, friendly equations without using decimals or fractions, we can express 543 in terms of multiples of 15.

1. 15 x 30 = 450
2. 15 x 6 = 90
3. 15 x 3 = 45
4. 15 x 2 = 30
5. 15 x 1 = 15

Now we can add these smaller equations together:

• \( 450 + 90 = 540 \)
• \( 540 + 3 \times 15 = 540 + 45 = 585 \)
• \( 585 - 15 = 570 \)
• So, adjusting our smaller additions moves below \( 543 = 450 + 90 + 3 \)

Thus, another way is:

1. \( 15 \times 30 = 450 \)
2. \( 15 \times 1 = 15 \)
3. \( 15 \times 2 = 30 \)
4. Combine remaining:

Thus, we more correctly align our results is with:

• \( 543 \div 15 = 36 \)

Using reusable smaller equations.
