Solve 89/48

$$\frac { 89 } { 48 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{89}{48}\approx 1.854166667$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 8 from dividend 89

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}\phantom{1}\\48\overline{)89}\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 48, use the next digit 9 from dividend 89 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{2}\\48\overline{)89}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 9 from dividend 89

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{3}\\48\overline{)89}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 48 to 89. We see that 1 \times 48 = 48 is the nearest. Now subtract 48 from 89 to get reminder 41. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}01\phantom{4}\\48\overline{)89}\\\phantom{48)}\underline{\phantom{}48\phantom{}}\\\phantom{48)}41\\\end{array}$$

Since 41 is less than 48, stop the division. The reminder is 41. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }41$$

Factor

$$\frac{89}{2 ^ {4} \cdot 3} = 1\frac{41}{48} = 1.8541666666666667$$
