Solve 38/37

$$\frac { 38 } { 37 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{38}{37}\approx 1.027027027$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 38

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{37)}\phantom{1}\\37\overline{)38}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 37, use the next digit 8 from dividend 38 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{37)}0\phantom{2}\\37\overline{)38}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 38

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{37)}0\phantom{3}\\37\overline{)38}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 37 to 38. We see that 1 \times 37 = 37 is the nearest. Now subtract 37 from 38 to get reminder 1. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{37)}01\phantom{4}\\37\overline{)38}\\\phantom{37)}\underline{\phantom{}37\phantom{}}\\\phantom{37)9}1\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 37, stop the division. The reminder is 1. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

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

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 19}{37} = 1\frac{1}{37} = 1.027027027027027$$
