Solve 236div60=

$$236 \div 60=$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{59}{15}\approx 3.933333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 236

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}\phantom{1}\\60\overline{)236}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 60, use the next digit 3 from dividend 236 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{2}\\60\overline{)236}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 3 from dividend 236

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{3}\\60\overline{)236}\\\end{array}$$

Since 23 is less than 60, use the next digit 6 from dividend 236 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{4}\\60\overline{)236}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 6 from dividend 236

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{5}\\60\overline{)236}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 60 to 236. We see that 3 \times 60 = 180 is the nearest. Now subtract 180 from 236 to get reminder 56. Add 3 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}003\phantom{6}\\60\overline{)236}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}180\phantom{}}\\\phantom{60)9}56\\\end{array}$$

Since 56 is less than 60, stop the division. The reminder is 56. The topmost line 003 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 3.

$$\text{Quotient: }3 \text{Reminder: }56$$

Factor

$$\frac{59}{3 \cdot 5} = 3\frac{14}{15} = 3.933333333333333$$
