Solve 88/15

$$\frac { 88 } { 15 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{88}{15}\approx 5.866666667$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 8 from dividend 88

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}\phantom{1}\\15\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 15, use the next digit 8 from dividend 88 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{2}\\15\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 88

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{3}\\15\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 15 to 88. We see that 5 \times 15 = 75 is the nearest. Now subtract 75 from 88 to get reminder 13. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}05\phantom{4}\\15\overline{)88}\\\phantom{15)}\underline{\phantom{}75\phantom{}}\\\phantom{15)}13\\\end{array}$$

Since 13 is less than 15, stop the division. The reminder is 13. The topmost line 05 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 5.

$$\text{Quotient: }5 \text{Reminder: }13$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {3} \cdot 11}{3 \cdot 5} = 5\frac{13}{15} = 5.866666666666666$$
