Solve 58div42

$$58 \div 42$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{29}{21}\approx 1.380952381$$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}\phantom{1}\\42\overline{)58}\\\end{array}$$

Since 5 is less than 42, use the next digit 8 from dividend 58 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}0\phantom{2}\\42\overline{)58}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}0\phantom{3}\\42\overline{)58}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 42 to 58. We see that 1 \times 42 = 42 is the nearest. Now subtract 42 from 58 to get reminder 16. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}01\phantom{4}\\42\overline{)58}\\\phantom{42)}\underline{\phantom{}42\phantom{}}\\\phantom{42)}16\\\end{array}$$

Since 16 is less than 42, 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

$$\frac{29}{3 \cdot 7} = 1\frac{8}{21} = 1.380952380952381$$
