I have to use the digits 4,5,6,7 and 8 only once and find the biggest quotient with no remainders

1 answer

To find the largest quotient with no remainders, we want the largest possible dividend and the smallest possible divisor.

To maximize the dividend, we start with the largest digit, which is 8. Then we choose the next largest digit, which is 7. Our dividend is 87.

To minimize the divisor, we start with the smallest digit, which is 4. Then we choose the next smallest digit, which is 5. Our divisor is 45.

Now we can calculate the quotient: 87 รท 45 = 1.93333...

Therefore, the largest quotient with no remainders is approximately 1.93333...
