The first step in estimating the quotient for \( 492 \div 50 \) is to round the numbers to make the division simpler.
You can round \( 492 \) to \( 500 \) and \( 50 \) can remain as \( 50 \).
So the estimation would become:
\[ 500 \div 50 \]
Now, you can easily divide:
\[ 500 \div 50 = 10 \]
So, the estimated quotient for \( 492 \div 50 \) is approximately \( 10 \).
