Solve 47/23

$$\frac { 47 } { 23 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{47}{23}\approx 2.043478261$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 4 from dividend 47

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}\phantom{1}\\23\overline{)47}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4 is less than 23, use the next digit 7 from dividend 47 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}0\phantom{2}\\23\overline{)47}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 7 from dividend 47

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}0\phantom{3}\\23\overline{)47}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 23 to 47. We see that 2 \times 23 = 46 is the nearest. Now subtract 46 from 47 to get reminder 1. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}02\phantom{4}\\23\overline{)47}\\\phantom{23)}\underline{\phantom{}46\phantom{}}\\\phantom{23)9}1\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 23, stop the division. The reminder is 1. The topmost line 02 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }1$$

Factor

$$\frac{47}{23} = 2\frac{1}{23} = 2.0434782608695654$$
