Step-by-step explanation:

When performing division by repeated subtraction method, an equal

amount is subtracted from the dividend several times.

The best choice for the first number to subtract is the the option; 870

Reasons:

Dividing 956 by 87 and subtracting 10 each time, by subtracting 10 87 times gives;

956 - 87 × 10¹ = 86

From which we get;

  • [tex]\hspace {15} 10\\87| \overline{956}\\\hspace{15in.....} \overline{870}\\\hspace {120in......} 86[/tex]

The 870 which is the part product is subtracted first to get a remainder of

86 which is less than 87.

Therefore; using powers of 10, the best choice for the first number to

subtract in the division problem 956 ÷ 87 is 87 × 10 = 870.
