Solve 96div36

$$96 \div 36$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{8}{3}\approx 2.666666667$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 9 from dividend 96

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{36)}\phantom{1}\\36\overline{)96}\\\end{array}$$

Since 9 is less than 36, use the next digit 6 from dividend 96 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{36)}0\phantom{2}\\36\overline{)96}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 96

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{36)}0\phantom{3}\\36\overline{)96}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 36 to 96. We see that 2 \times 36 = 72 is the nearest. Now subtract 72 from 96 to get reminder 24. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{36)}02\phantom{4}\\36\overline{)96}\\\phantom{36)}\underline{\phantom{}72\phantom{}}\\\phantom{36)}24\\\end{array}$$

Since 24 is less than 36, stop the division. The reminder is 24. The topmost line 02 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }24$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {3}}{3} = 2\frac{2}{3} = 2.6666666666666665$$
