Solve 170div60

$$170 \div 60$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{6}\approx 2.833333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 170

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}\phantom{1}\\60\overline{)170}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 60, use the next digit 7 from dividend 170 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{2}\\60\overline{)170}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 7 from dividend 170

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{3}\\60\overline{)170}\\\end{array}$$

Since 17 is less than 60, use the next digit 0 from dividend 170 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{4}\\60\overline{)170}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 170

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{5}\\60\overline{)170}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 60 to 170. We see that 2 \times 60 = 120 is the nearest. Now subtract 120 from 170 to get reminder 50. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}002\phantom{6}\\60\overline{)170}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}120\phantom{}}\\\phantom{60)9}50\\\end{array}$$

Since 50 is less than 60, stop the division. The reminder is 50. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }50$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{2 \cdot 3} = 2\frac{5}{6} = 2.8333333333333335$$
