Solve 24/18

$$\frac { 24 } { 18 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{4}{3}\approx 1.333333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 24

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}\phantom{1}\\18\overline{)24}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 18, use the next digit 4 from dividend 24 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}0\phantom{2}\\18\overline{)24}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 4 from dividend 24

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}0\phantom{3}\\18\overline{)24}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 18 to 24. We see that 1 \times 18 = 18 is the nearest. Now subtract 18 from 24 to get reminder 6. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}01\phantom{4}\\18\overline{)24}\\\phantom{18)}\underline{\phantom{}18\phantom{}}\\\phantom{18)9}6\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 18, stop the division. The reminder is 6. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }6$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2}}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3} = 1.3333333333333333$$
