Solve 308div40

$$308 \div 40$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{77}{10}=7.7$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 308

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}\phantom{1}\\40\overline{)308}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 40, use the next digit 0 from dividend 308 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}0\phantom{2}\\40\overline{)308}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 308

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}0\phantom{3}\\40\overline{)308}\\\end{array}$$

Since 30 is less than 40, use the next digit 8 from dividend 308 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}00\phantom{4}\\40\overline{)308}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 8 from dividend 308

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}00\phantom{5}\\40\overline{)308}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 40 to 308. We see that 7 \times 40 = 280 is the nearest. Now subtract 280 from 308 to get reminder 28. Add 7 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}007\phantom{6}\\40\overline{)308}\\\phantom{40)}\underline{\phantom{}280\phantom{}}\\\phantom{40)9}28\\\end{array}$$

Since 28 is less than 40, stop the division. The reminder is 28. The topmost line 007 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 7.

$$\text{Quotient: }7 \text{Reminder: }28$$

Factor

$$\frac{7 \cdot 11}{2 \cdot 5} = 7\frac{7}{10} = 7.7$$
