Solve 58div15

$$58 \div 15$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{58}{15}\approx 3.866666667$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 5 from dividend 58

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}\phantom{1}\\15\overline{)58}\\\end{array}$$

Since 5 is less than 15, use the next digit 8 from dividend 58 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{2}\\15\overline{)58}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 58

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{3}\\15\overline{)58}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 15 to 58. We see that 3 \times 15 = 45 is the nearest. Now subtract 45 from 58 to get reminder 13. Add 3 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}03\phantom{4}\\15\overline{)58}\\\phantom{15)}\underline{\phantom{}45\phantom{}}\\\phantom{15)}13\\\end{array}$$

Since 13 is less than 15, stop the division. The reminder is 13. The topmost line 03 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 3.

$$\text{Quotient: }3 \text{Reminder: }13$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 29}{3 \cdot 5} = 3\frac{13}{15} = 3.8666666666666667$$
