Solve 88/68

$$\frac { 88 } { 68 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{22}{17}\approx 1.294117647$$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{68)}\phantom{1}\\68\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 68, use the next digit 8 from dividend 88 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{68)}0\phantom{2}\\68\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{68)}0\phantom{3}\\68\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 68 to 88. We see that 1 \times 68 = 68 is the nearest. Now subtract 68 from 88 to get reminder 20. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{68)}01\phantom{4}\\68\overline{)88}\\\phantom{68)}\underline{\phantom{}68\phantom{}}\\\phantom{68)}20\\\end{array}$$

Since 20 is less than 68, stop the division. The reminder is 20. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }20$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 11}{17} = 1\frac{5}{17} = 1.2941176470588236$$
