Solve 32/18

$$\frac { 32 } { 18 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{16}{9}\approx 1.777777778$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 32

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}\phantom{1}\\18\overline{)32}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 18, use the next digit 2 from dividend 32 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}0\phantom{2}\\18\overline{)32}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 32

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}0\phantom{3}\\18\overline{)32}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 18 to 32. We see that 1 \times 18 = 18 is the nearest. Now subtract 18 from 32 to get reminder 14. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}01\phantom{4}\\18\overline{)32}\\\phantom{18)}\underline{\phantom{}18\phantom{}}\\\phantom{18)}14\\\end{array}$$

Since 14 is less than 18, stop the division. The reminder is 14. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }14$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {4}}{3 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{7}{9} = 1.7777777777777777$$
