Solve 42div18

$$42 \div 18$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{3}\approx 2.333333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 4 from dividend 42

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}\phantom{1}\\18\overline{)42}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4 is less than 18, use the next digit 2 from dividend 42 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}0\phantom{2}\\18\overline{)42}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 42

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}0\phantom{3}\\18\overline{)42}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 18 to 42. We see that 2 \times 18 = 36 is the nearest. Now subtract 36 from 42 to get reminder 6. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}02\phantom{4}\\18\overline{)42}\\\phantom{18)}\underline{\phantom{}36\phantom{}}\\\phantom{18)9}6\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 18, stop the division. The reminder is 6. The topmost line 02 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }6$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{3} = 2\frac{1}{3} = 2.3333333333333335$$
