Practice Division – To Be Perfect

Today again…we have the reader Ankit contributing in addition to his Vedic Maths series.

“Practice makes man perfect “

Today let’s see few more things on divisions. If you have come across division with 7 you would have seen a pattern after the dividend is over and u get a remainder. Remainder when you divide an integer by 7 is between 0 and 6(inclusive).

Pattern seen is 142857….

1/7=0.142857*

2/7=0.285714*

3/7=0.428571*

4/7=0.571428*

5/7=0.714285*

6/7=0.857142*

So basic pattern is ….142857….

How to remember?

7*2=14

14*2=28

28*2+1=57

Some other sequences:

13—— >….076923…. (07—–23*3——13+10—-)

17—— >….0588235294117647…..

(Such sequences exists for many numbers but are difficult to memories so we use some other techniques)
