Solve 68div23

$$68 \div 23$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{68}{23}\approx 2.956521739$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 6 from dividend 68

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}\phantom{1}\\23\overline{)68}\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 23, use the next digit 8 from dividend 68 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}0\phantom{2}\\23\overline{)68}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 68

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}0\phantom{3}\\23\overline{)68}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 23 to 68. We see that 2 \times 23 = 46 is the nearest. Now subtract 46 from 68 to get reminder 22. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}02\phantom{4}\\23\overline{)68}\\\phantom{23)}\underline{\phantom{}46\phantom{}}\\\phantom{23)}22\\\end{array}$$

Since 22 is less than 23, stop the division. The reminder is 22. The topmost line 02 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }22$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 17}{23} = 2\frac{22}{23} = 2.9565217391304346$$
