Solve 400/48

$$\frac{ 400 }{ 48 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{25}{3}\approx 8.333333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 4 from dividend 400

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}\phantom{1}\\48\overline{)400}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4 is less than 48, use the next digit 0 from dividend 400 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{2}\\48\overline{)400}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 400

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{3}\\48\overline{)400}\\\end{array}$$

Since 40 is less than 48, use the next digit 0 from dividend 400 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}00\phantom{4}\\48\overline{)400}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 400

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}00\phantom{5}\\48\overline{)400}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 48 to 400. We see that 8 \times 48 = 384 is the nearest. Now subtract 384 from 400 to get reminder 16. Add 8 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}008\phantom{6}\\48\overline{)400}\\\phantom{48)}\underline{\phantom{}384\phantom{}}\\\phantom{48)9}16\\\end{array}$$

Since 16 is less than 48, stop the division. The reminder is 16. The topmost line 008 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 8.

$$\text{Quotient: }8 \text{Reminder: }16$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 ^ {2}}{3} = 8\frac{1}{3} = 8.333333333333334$$
