Solve 548/84

$$\frac{ 548 }{ 84 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{137}{21}\approx 6.523809524$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 5 from dividend 548

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{84)}\phantom{1}\\84\overline{)548}\\\end{array}$$

Since 5 is less than 84, use the next digit 4 from dividend 548 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{84)}0\phantom{2}\\84\overline{)548}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 4 from dividend 548

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{84)}0\phantom{3}\\84\overline{)548}\\\end{array}$$

Since 54 is less than 84, use the next digit 8 from dividend 548 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{84)}00\phantom{4}\\84\overline{)548}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 8 from dividend 548

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{84)}00\phantom{5}\\84\overline{)548}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 84 to 548. We see that 6 \times 84 = 504 is the nearest. Now subtract 504 from 548 to get reminder 44. Add 6 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{84)}006\phantom{6}\\84\overline{)548}\\\phantom{84)}\underline{\phantom{}504\phantom{}}\\\phantom{84)9}44\\\end{array}$$

Since 44 is less than 84, stop the division. The reminder is 44. The topmost line 006 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 6.

$$\text{Quotient: }6 \text{Reminder: }44$$

Factor

$$\frac{137}{3 \cdot 7} = 6\frac{11}{21} = 6.523809523809524$$
