Solve 188/80

$$\frac{ 188 }{ 80 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{47}{20}=2.35$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 188

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}\phantom{1}\\80\overline{)188}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 80, use the next digit 8 from dividend 188 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0\phantom{2}\\80\overline{)188}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 188

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0\phantom{3}\\80\overline{)188}\\\end{array}$$

Since 18 is less than 80, use the next digit 8 from dividend 188 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}00\phantom{4}\\80\overline{)188}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 8 from dividend 188

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}00\phantom{5}\\80\overline{)188}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 80 to 188. We see that 2 \times 80 = 160 is the nearest. Now subtract 160 from 188 to get reminder 28. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}002\phantom{6}\\80\overline{)188}\\\phantom{80)}\underline{\phantom{}160\phantom{}}\\\phantom{80)9}28\\\end{array}$$

Since 28 is less than 80, stop the division. The reminder is 28. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }28$$

Factor

$$\frac{47}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 2\frac{7}{20} = 2.35$$
