Use the digits 1, 2, 3, and as many zeros as you want to form

a division problem with a quotient of 70.

next

Using the digits 1, 2, and 3, I must create a division problem that has 70 for a quotient. I know that I can use

as many zeros as necessary. After looking at the digits, I can divide 21

by 3. My answer would be 7. In order to get 70, I would add a zero to 21 and get 210. When I divide 210 by

3, my answer would be 70.

I could also add zeros to 210 and 3 to get 2100 ÷ 30. That would also give me 70. Thus, there are an infinite number of division problems that would give me 70 for a quotient. Each time I divided; my quotient

would be 70.
