Solve 26/10

$$\frac { 26 } { 10 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13}{5}=2.6$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 26

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{10)}\phantom{1}\\10\overline{)26}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 10, use the next digit 6 from dividend 26 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{10)}0\phantom{2}\\10\overline{)26}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 26

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{10)}0\phantom{3}\\10\overline{)26}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 10 to 26. We see that 2 \times 10 = 20 is the nearest. Now subtract 20 from 26 to get reminder 6. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{10)}02\phantom{4}\\10\overline{)26}\\\phantom{10)}\underline{\phantom{}20\phantom{}}\\\phantom{10)9}6\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 10, stop the division. The reminder is 6. The topmost line 02 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }6$$

Factor

$$\frac{13}{5} = 2\frac{3}{5} = 2.6$$
