Solve 128div24

$$128 \div 24$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{16}{3}\approx 5.333333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 128

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}\phantom{1}\\24\overline{)128}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 24, use the next digit 2 from dividend 128 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}0\phantom{2}\\24\overline{)128}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 128

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}0\phantom{3}\\24\overline{)128}\\\end{array}$$

Since 12 is less than 24, use the next digit 8 from dividend 128 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}00\phantom{4}\\24\overline{)128}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 8 from dividend 128

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}00\phantom{5}\\24\overline{)128}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 24 to 128. We see that 5 \times 24 = 120 is the nearest. Now subtract 120 from 128 to get reminder 8. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}005\phantom{6}\\24\overline{)128}\\\phantom{24)}\underline{\phantom{}120\phantom{}}\\\phantom{24)99}8\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 24, stop the division. The reminder is 8. The topmost line 005 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 5.

$$\text{Quotient: }5 \text{Reminder: }8$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {4}}{3} = 5\frac{1}{3} = 5.333333333333333$$
