Solve 77/56

$$\frac{ 77 }{ 56 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{11}{8}=1.375$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 7 from dividend 77

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{56)}\phantom{1}\\56\overline{)77}\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 56, use the next digit 7 from dividend 77 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{56)}0\phantom{2}\\56\overline{)77}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 7 from dividend 77

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{56)}0\phantom{3}\\56\overline{)77}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 56 to 77. We see that 1 \times 56 = 56 is the nearest. Now subtract 56 from 77 to get reminder 21. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{56)}01\phantom{4}\\56\overline{)77}\\\phantom{56)}\underline{\phantom{}56\phantom{}}\\\phantom{56)}21\\\end{array}$$

Since 21 is less than 56, stop the division. The reminder is 21. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }21$$

Factor

$$\frac{11}{2 ^ {3}} = 1\frac{3}{8} = 1.375$$
