81 ÷ 3 = 27.
2. 13
Divide each digit by 6, from left to right, carrying each remainder to the next digit.
7 ÷ 6 = 1 r 1; 18 ÷ 6 = 3.
78 ÷ 6 = 13.
3. 15
Divide each digit by 5, from left to right, carrying each remainder to the next digit.
7 ÷ 5 = 1 r 2; 25 ÷ 5 = 5.
75 ÷ 5 = 15.
4. 13
Divide each digit by 4, from left to right, carrying each remainder to the next digit.
5 ÷ 4 = 1 r 1; 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
52 ÷ 4 = 13.
5. 13
