Solve 850%

$$850 \%$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{2}=8.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 8 from dividend 850

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 100, use the next digit 5 from dividend 850 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 850

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

Since 85 is less than 100, use the next digit 0 from dividend 850 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 850

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 100 to 850. We see that 8 \times 100 = 800 is the nearest. Now subtract 800 from 850 to get reminder 50. Add 8 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}008\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)850}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}800\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)9}50\\\end{array}$$

Since 50 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 50. The topmost line 008 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 8.

$$\text{Quotient: }8 \text{Reminder: }50$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{2} = 8\frac{1}{2} = 8.5$$
