Solve 62/46

$$\frac{ 62 }{ 46 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{31}{23}\approx 1.347826087$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 6 from dividend 62

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{46)}\phantom{1}\\46\overline{)62}\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 46, use the next digit 2 from dividend 62 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{46)}0\phantom{2}\\46\overline{)62}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 62

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{46)}0\phantom{3}\\46\overline{)62}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 46 to 62. We see that 1 \times 46 = 46 is the nearest. Now subtract 46 from 62 to get reminder 16. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{46)}01\phantom{4}\\46\overline{)62}\\\phantom{46)}\underline{\phantom{}46\phantom{}}\\\phantom{46)}16\\\end{array}$$

Since 16 is less than 46, stop the division. The reminder is 16. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }16$$

Factor

$$\frac{31}{23} = 1\frac{8}{23} = 1.3478260869565217$$
