Solve 888/24

$$\frac{ 888 }{ 24 }$$

Evaluate

$$37$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 8 from dividend 888

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}\phantom{1}\\24\overline{)888}\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 24, use the next digit 8 from dividend 888 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}0\phantom{2}\\24\overline{)888}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 888

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}0\phantom{3}\\24\overline{)888}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 24 to 88. We see that 3 \times 24 = 72 is the nearest. Now subtract 72 from 88 to get reminder 16. Add 3 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}03\phantom{4}\\24\overline{)888}\\\phantom{24)}\underline{\phantom{}72\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{24)}16\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 8 from dividend 888

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}03\phantom{5}\\24\overline{)888}\\\phantom{24)}\underline{\phantom{}72\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{24)}168\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 24 to 168. We see that 7 \times 24 = 168 is the nearest. Now subtract 168 from 168 to get reminder 0. Add 7 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}037\phantom{6}\\24\overline{)888}\\\phantom{24)}\underline{\phantom{}72\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{24)}168\\\phantom{24)}\underline{\phantom{}168\phantom{}}\\\phantom{24)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since 0 is less than 24, stop the division. The reminder is 0. The topmost line 037 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 37.

$$\text{Quotient: }37 \text{Reminder: }0$$

Factor

$$37$$
