Solve 160div48

$$160 \div 48$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{10}{3}\approx 3.333333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 160

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}\phantom{1}\\48\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 48, use the next digit 6 from dividend 160 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{2}\\48\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 160

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{3}\\48\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Since 16 is less than 48, use the next digit 0 from dividend 160 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}00\phantom{4}\\48\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 160

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}00\phantom{5}\\48\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 48 to 160. We see that 3 \times 48 = 144 is the nearest. Now subtract 144 from 160 to get reminder 16. Add 3 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}003\phantom{6}\\48\overline{)160}\\\phantom{48)}\underline{\phantom{}144\phantom{}}\\\phantom{48)9}16\\\end{array}$$

Since 16 is less than 48, stop the division. The reminder is 16. The topmost line 003 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 3.

$$\text{Quotient: }3 \text{Reminder: }16$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 5}{3} = 3\frac{1}{3} = 3.3333333333333335$$
