Solve 596div28

$$596 \div 28$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{149}{7}\approx 21.285714286$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 5 from dividend 596

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{28)}\phantom{1}\\28\overline{)596}\\\end{array}$$

Since 5 is less than 28, use the next digit 9 from dividend 596 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{28)}0\phantom{2}\\28\overline{)596}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 9 from dividend 596

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{28)}0\phantom{3}\\28\overline{)596}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 28 to 59. We see that 2 \times 28 = 56 is the nearest. Now subtract 56 from 59 to get reminder 3. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{28)}02\phantom{4}\\28\overline{)596}\\\phantom{28)}\underline{\phantom{}56\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{28)9}3\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 6 from dividend 596

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{28)}02\phantom{5}\\28\overline{)596}\\\phantom{28)}\underline{\phantom{}56\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{28)9}36\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 28 to 36. We see that 1 \times 28 = 28 is the nearest. Now subtract 28 from 36 to get reminder 8. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{28)}021\phantom{6}\\28\overline{)596}\\\phantom{28)}\underline{\phantom{}56\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{28)9}36\\\phantom{28)}\underline{\phantom{9}28\phantom{}}\\\phantom{28)99}8\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 28, stop the division. The reminder is 8. The topmost line 021 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 21.

$$\text{Quotient: }21 \text{Reminder: }8$$

Factor

$$\frac{149}{7} = 21\frac{2}{7} = 21.285714285714285$$
