Solve 40div24

$$40 \div 24$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{3}\approx 1.666666667$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 4 from dividend 40

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}\phantom{1}\\24\overline{)40}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4 is less than 24, use the next digit 0 from dividend 40 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}0\phantom{2}\\24\overline{)40}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 40

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}0\phantom{3}\\24\overline{)40}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 24 to 40. We see that 1 \times 24 = 24 is the nearest. Now subtract 24 from 40 to get reminder 16. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{24)}01\phantom{4}\\24\overline{)40}\\\phantom{24)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{}}\\\phantom{24)}16\\\end{array}$$

Since 16 is less than 24, stop the division. The reminder is 16. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }16$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3} = 1.6666666666666667$$
