Solve 21div14=

$$21 \div 14=$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 21

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{14)}\phantom{1}\\14\overline{)21}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 14, use the next digit 1 from dividend 21 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{14)}0\phantom{2}\\14\overline{)21}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 1 from dividend 21

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{14)}0\phantom{3}\\14\overline{)21}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 14 to 21. We see that 1 \times 14 = 14 is the nearest. Now subtract 14 from 21 to get reminder 7. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{14)}01\phantom{4}\\14\overline{)21}\\\phantom{14)}\underline{\phantom{}14\phantom{}}\\\phantom{14)9}7\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 14, stop the division. The reminder is 7. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }7$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$
