Answer 1

Correct choices and steps:

STEP 1: Start from the left in 2,226.
Move right until the digits form a number greater than or equal to 53. This number is 222.

STEP 2: Estimate the quotient of this number and 53 to get the first digit of the quotient. Then multiply this first digit with 53. Next, subtract the resulting product from 222.
- 222 ÷ 53 ≈ 4 (because 53×4 = 212)
- Subtract: 222 − 212 = 10

STEP 3: Then bring down the next digit (6) from 2,226, and repeat the process.
- Bring down 6 → 106
- 106 ÷ 53 = 2 (53×2 = 106)
- Subtract: 106 − 106 = 0

Final quotient: 42.
