Division Tricks
Dividing any number by 5
1. The number is divisible by 5 when the last digit is 0 and 5.
2. When the last digit is not 0 and 5 then follow the following steps given below
NOTE: Instead of dividing by 5, it is more easy to multiply first by 2 and then divide the result by 10.(i.e 2/10=1/5)
STEP 1: Multiply the given number by 2.
STEP 2: Insert the decimal point before the Unit's place (i.e Divided by 10)
Lets see some examples:
Example 1: Find out 625/5.
Last digit is end with 5 and result=125.
Example 2: Find out 3395/5.
Last digit is end with 5 and result=679.
Example 3: Find out 150/5.
Last digit is end with 0 and result=30.
Example 4: Find out 64/5.
STEP 1: 64 X 2 = 128
STEP 2: 12.8 (i.e 128/10)
Example 5: Find out 222/5.
STEP 1: 222 X 2 = 444
STEP 2: 44.4 (i.e 444/10)
