Solve 42div27

$$42 \div 27$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{14}{9}\approx 1.555555556$$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{27)}\phantom{1}\\27\overline{)42}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4 is less than 27, use the next digit 2 from dividend 42 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{27)}0\phantom{2}\\27\overline{)42}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{27)}0\phantom{3}\\27\overline{)42}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 27 to 42. We see that 1 \times 27 = 27 is the nearest. Now subtract 27 from 42 to get reminder 15. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{27)}01\phantom{4}\\27\overline{)42}\\\phantom{27)}\underline{\phantom{}27\phantom{}}\\\phantom{27)}15\\\end{array}$$

Since 15 is less than 27, stop the division. The reminder is 15. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }15$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 7}{3 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{5}{9} = 1.5555555555555556$$
