Solve 37/13=

$$\frac { 37 } { 13 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{37}{13}\approx 2.846153846$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 37

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{13)}\phantom{1}\\13\overline{)37}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 13, use the next digit 7 from dividend 37 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{13)}0\phantom{2}\\13\overline{)37}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 7 from dividend 37

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{13)}0\phantom{3}\\13\overline{)37}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 13 to 37. We see that 2 \times 13 = 26 is the nearest. Now subtract 26 from 37 to get reminder 11. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{13)}02\phantom{4}\\13\overline{)37}\\\phantom{13)}\underline{\phantom{}26\phantom{}}\\\phantom{13)}11\\\end{array}$$

Since 11 is less than 13, stop the division. The reminder is 11. The topmost line 02 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }11$$

Factor

$$\frac{37}{13} = 2\frac{11}{13} = 2.8461538461538463$$
