Solve 117/50

$$\frac { 117 } { 50 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{117}{50}=2.34$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 117

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}\phantom{1}\\50\overline{)117}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 50, use the next digit 1 from dividend 117 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}0\phantom{2}\\50\overline{)117}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 1 from dividend 117

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}0\phantom{3}\\50\overline{)117}\\\end{array}$$

Since 11 is less than 50, use the next digit 7 from dividend 117 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}00\phantom{4}\\50\overline{)117}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 7 from dividend 117

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}00\phantom{5}\\50\overline{)117}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 50 to 117. We see that 2 \times 50 = 100 is the nearest. Now subtract 100 from 117 to get reminder 17. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}002\phantom{6}\\50\overline{)117}\\\phantom{50)}\underline{\phantom{}100\phantom{}}\\\phantom{50)9}17\\\end{array}$$

Since 17 is less than 50, stop the division. The reminder is 17. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }17$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2} \cdot 13}{2 \cdot 5 ^ {2}} = 2\frac{17}{50} = 2.34$$
