Solve 850div300

$$850 \div 300$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{6}\approx 2.833333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{300)}\phantom{1}\\300\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 300, use the next digit 5 from dividend 850 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{300)}0\phantom{2}\\300\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{300)}0\phantom{3}\\300\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

Since 85 is less than 300, use the next digit 0 from dividend 850 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{300)}00\phantom{4}\\300\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{300)}00\phantom{5}\\300\overline{)850}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 300 to 850. We see that 2 \times 300 = 600 is the nearest. Now subtract 600 from 850 to get reminder 250. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{300)}002\phantom{6}\\300\overline{)850}\\\phantom{300)}\underline{\phantom{}600\phantom{}}\\\phantom{300)}250\\\end{array}$$

Since 250 is less than 300, stop the division. The reminder is 250. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }250$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{2 \cdot 3} = 2\frac{5}{6} = 2.8333333333333335$$
