Solve 217%

$$217 \%$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{217}{100}=2.17$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 217

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)217}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 100, use the next digit 1 from dividend 217 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)217}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 1 from dividend 217

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)217}\\\end{array}$$

Since 21 is less than 100, use the next digit 7 from dividend 217 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)217}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 7 from dividend 217

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)217}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 100 to 217. We see that 2 \times 100 = 200 is the nearest. Now subtract 200 from 217 to get reminder 17. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}002\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)217}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}200\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)9}17\\\end{array}$$

Since 17 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 17. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }17$$

Factor

$$\frac{7 \cdot 31}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5 ^ {2}} = 2\frac{17}{100} = 2.17$$
