«  When the divisor is the same number as the dividend, the quotient will
                 be 1.


                      6 ÷ 6  = 1 ;             54 ÷ 54  = 1 ;           247 ÷ 247  = 1

            «  When the dividend is 0 and the divisor is any number (other than zero),
                 the quotient will be 0.


                      0 ÷ 7  = 0 ;             0 ÷ 82  = 0 ;            0 ÷ 214  = 0

            Dividing a 4-Digit Number by a 1-Digit Number


            Example  :  Mr Mayank bought a colour TV set for ` 7855. He paid it in 5
                             equal installments. How much did he pay for every installment ?


            Solution  :  7855 ÷ 5 = ?
