Solve 106/20

$$\frac{ 106 }{ 20 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{53}{10}=5.3$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 106

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}\phantom{1}\\20\overline{)106}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 20, use the next digit 0 from dividend 106 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{2}\\20\overline{)106}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 106

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{3}\\20\overline{)106}\\\end{array}$$

Since 10 is less than 20, use the next digit 6 from dividend 106 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}00\phantom{4}\\20\overline{)106}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 6 from dividend 106

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}00\phantom{5}\\20\overline{)106}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 20 to 106. We see that 5 \times 20 = 100 is the nearest. Now subtract 100 from 106 to get reminder 6. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}005\phantom{6}\\20\overline{)106}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}100\phantom{}}\\\phantom{20)99}6\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 20, stop the division. The reminder is 6. The topmost line 005 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 5.

$$\text{Quotient: }5 \text{Reminder: }6$$

Factor

$$\frac{53}{2 \cdot 5} = 5\frac{3}{10} = 5.3$$
