Solve 79div20

$$79 \div 20$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{79}{20}=3.95$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 7 from dividend 79

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}\phantom{1}\\20\overline{)79}\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 20, use the next digit 9 from dividend 79 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{2}\\20\overline{)79}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 9 from dividend 79

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{3}\\20\overline{)79}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 20 to 79. We see that 3 \times 20 = 60 is the nearest. Now subtract 60 from 79 to get reminder 19. Add 3 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}03\phantom{4}\\20\overline{)79}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}60\phantom{}}\\\phantom{20)}19\\\end{array}$$

Since 19 is less than 20, stop the division. The reminder is 19. The topmost line 03 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 3.

$$\text{Quotient: }3 \text{Reminder: }19$$

Factor

$$\frac{79}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 3\frac{19}{20} = 3.95$$
