Shortcut to divide any 2 digit number by 9
Dividing a two digit number by 9 using the method taught to us in our school days may take a minute. But by applying this trick you can mentally calculate the answer within seconds.
Let us see the steps now
Step 1: Enter the ten’s digit of the number as it is.
Step 2: To get the unit’s place digit add the ten’s place digit number and Unit’s place digit number and put the decimal point after the ten’s place digit.
Let us consider an example
Example: 23÷ 9=?
Step 1: We enter the ten’s place digit as it is
Ten’s place digit=2
Step 2: We get the unit’s place digit by adding ten’s place digit and unit’s place digit
2+3=5
Unit’s place digit=5
Now add a decimal point between the unit’s place digit and the ten’s place digit to arrive at the answer
Ans : 23÷ 9 =2.5
