    Vedic math provides a simple technique for dividing numbers by 9. The quotient is determined by rewriting the number as the sum of its digits. The remainder is the sum of the digits. If the remainder is greater than 9, 1 is added to the quotient and 9 is subtracted from the remainder. Examples are provided for dividing 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 digit numbers by 9 using this technique.

    Vedic Math - Divsion by 9


    Let us learn, how to do 'Division' operation using 'Vedic Math'. Conventionally, we do it like
    following:

    Divisor ) Dividend ( Quotient


                    ---------
                    ---------
                 _________
                 Remainder

    However, in the Vedic process, the format is


    Divisor ) Dividend
                    --------
               __________________
               Quotient | Remainder

    Let us first start with one of the special case of division i.e. Division By 9, a very interesting
    and simple technique.

    When dividing by 9, the remainder is always the digit sum of the original number.

    For 2-digit number divided by 9 


    To divide ab by 9 : Rewrite ab as a | b . The quotient is a, and the remainder is simply a + b.

        a  |  b
            |  a
        ---------
        a  | a + b

    Examples: 

    12 divided by 9
    Here quotient = 1 and remainder = 1+2 = 3

    23 divided by 9
    Here quotient = 2 and remainder = 2+3 = 5

    70 divided by 9
    Here quotient = 7 and remainder = 7+0 = 7
    Now, let us discuss the cases when remainder is greater than 9 :-

    86 divided by 9
    Here quotient = 8 and remainder= 8+6 = 14 ( >9 )
    So we add one in the quotient and becomes 9 ; and
    remainder becomes 5, after subtracting 9 from 14

    New quotient =  9 and New remainder = 5

    75 divided by 9
    Here quotient = 7 and remainder = 7+5 = 12 ( >9 )
    So, New quotient =  8 and New remainder = 3 (12-9=3)

    Also, notice here, that the new remainder is just the digit sum of the old remainder.

    For 3-digit number divided by 9

          ab  |  c
            a  | a + b
       ---------------
     ab + a | a + b + c

    Quotient: ab + a ; Remainder: a + b + c. However, remember that the remainder should be


    less than 9. And if remainder is greater than 9; we add 1 to quotient and subtract 9 from the
    remainder.

     Examples:
    124 divided by 9
        12 |  4
       1|1+2
       ------------
         13 | 7
    Quotient = 13 and Remainder = 7

    311 divided by 9
        31 |  1
       3|3+1
       ------------
         34 | 5
    Quotient = 34 and Remainder = 5

    267 divided by 9
        26 |  7
       2|2+6
       ------------
         28 | 15       (add 1 to quotient ; subtract 9 from remainder or digit sum of the remainder
    i.e. 1+5=6)
         29 | 6
    Quotient = 29 and Remainder = 6

    Examples for 4-digit number


     3121 divided by 9

     3172 divided by 9

    Example for 5-digit number


     42111 divided by 9

    Example for 6-digit number


     214091 divided by 9
    21409  | 1
    The first digit 2 is write down as the first digit of the quotient. Take this 2 and add to the
    next digit '1'. This gives 3 as the next
    digit. Working this way 3+4 =7, 7+0 =7 , 7+9 = 16 and the remainder is 16+1 = 17
    2377 16 | 17
    carry 1 on the left, gives
    23786 | 17
    The remainder 17 >  9 , so add 1 to quotient and subtract 9 from remainder.
    23787 | 8
    Q= 23787, R = 8

    I hope, you would enjoy using this interesting and simple technique. In case of any query,
    please post in the comments.
