Solve 98/70

$$\frac { 98 } { 70 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{5}=1.4$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 9 from dividend 98

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}\phantom{1}\\70\overline{)98}\\\end{array}$$

Since 9 is less than 70, use the next digit 8 from dividend 98 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}0\phantom{2}\\70\overline{)98}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 98

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}0\phantom{3}\\70\overline{)98}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 70 to 98. We see that 1 \times 70 = 70 is the nearest. Now subtract 70 from 98 to get reminder 28. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}01\phantom{4}\\70\overline{)98}\\\phantom{70)}\underline{\phantom{}70\phantom{}}\\\phantom{70)}28\\\end{array}$$

Since 28 is less than 70, stop the division. The reminder is 28. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }28$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{5} = 1\frac{2}{5} = 1.4$$
