Solve 55div35

$$55 \div 35$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{11}{7}\approx 1.571428571$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 5 from dividend 55

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{35)}\phantom{1}\\35\overline{)55}\\\end{array}$$

Since 5 is less than 35, use the next digit 5 from dividend 55 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{35)}0\phantom{2}\\35\overline{)55}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 55

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{35)}0\phantom{3}\\35\overline{)55}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 35 to 55. We see that 1 \times 35 = 35 is the nearest. Now subtract 35 from 55 to get reminder 20. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{35)}01\phantom{4}\\35\overline{)55}\\\phantom{35)}\underline{\phantom{}35\phantom{}}\\\phantom{35)}20\\\end{array}$$

Since 20 is less than 35, stop the division. The reminder is 20. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }20$$

Factor

$$\frac{11}{7} = 1\frac{4}{7} = 1.5714285714285714$$
