9 is 1(deficiency) less than 10(nearest power of 10). (that 1 is written in white color below divisor in below
example)
Split Dividend in 2 parts (Quotient & Remainder) in such a way Remainder to
have same number of digits as that of Divisor. In this case its 1 digit.
Take 1st digit 1 down as it is.
Multiply the above deficiency (1) with the 1 and put
below 2 and add them column wise.
Thus Quotient=1 & Remainder=3.

# 3483/99.(See Below)
1.

99 is 01(deficiency) less than 100(nearest power of 10). (Concept of Nikhilam All

from 9 and last from 10)
2.
Split Dividend in 2 parts (Quotient & Remainder) in such a way Remainder to have
same number of digits as that of Divisor. In this case its 2 digits.
3.

Take 1st digit 3 down as it is .

4.

Multiply the above deficiency (01) with the 3 and put them below 4 and 8(as shown),
add 1st column (4+0=4).

5.

Multiply the above deficiency (01) with the 4 now and put in next columns (as
shown), add 1st column (8+3+0=11).

6.

In General, Repeat this process till a number comes in last column. In this example a
number (4) has appeared in last column so stop here and add columnwise.

7.

Q = 34 and R = 117. But we know concept that Remainder can NEVER be >= Divisor.
As R(117) > D(99) Apply Method of How to play with Quotients and Remainders i.e.
Divide 117 by 99 gives Sub-Quotient = 1 and Sub-Remainder = 18. Add Sub-Quotient(1)
with original Quotient (34) = 35 and now sub-Remainder becomes our Final Remainder.

8.

Thus Quotient=35 & Remainder=18.

AgainVinculum can be applied whenever we have bigger digits in either Quotient or

Remainder.
In above example we had 172We can convert it to Vinculum for more simplication.
Lets see similar problem in which we can convert to Vinculum and then apply Nikhilam.
Eg: 167388/87 = ? (As Quotient is having bigger digits convert it to Vinculum Number).

Nikhilam Division Tips

1.

Do not fail to consider 0/0s after subtraction in initial case of Divisor. (1000-996 =
004)
2.
We can convert the deficiency to Vinculum Number for simplicity. For above example
divisor 828 is 172 less than 1000, so we had to multiply by 7s. You can convert 172 to
vinculum number i.e. 2(bar3)2 and then apply Nikhilam to avoid multiplication with 7s.

In above examples we obtained answers in terms of Quotient and Remainders. But if we

need answers in form of Decimal still we can apply same Sutra.

# 3483/99 (same above example but in terms of Decimal Point)

Split Dividend in 2 parts in such a way later part to have same digits as that of
Divisor. In this case its 2 digits.
Append Zeroess at end of dividend as shown below.

Now apply same discussed process .Only stop when you feel stopping or till required
number of digits after decimal point.

In previous examples, if Remainder obtained >= Divisor then we divide and carry
forward thus obtained quotient and add with the quotient obtained earlier and New
remainder becomes actual remainder. But since in this process we have answer in terms
of decimal, we just carry forward if any carry forward present. Hence we carry
forwarded 1 as it is to add with 34.

Decimal point will come at same place from where Remainder would have started.

Final Answer: 35.1818(till 4 digits
