DIVIDE 2/17 BY LONG DIVISION
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Start by setting it up with the divisor 2 on the left side and the dividend 17 on the right side like this:
2 ⟌ 1 7
Step 2:
The divisor (2) goes into the first digit of the dividend (1), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:
0
2 ⟌ 1 7
Step 3:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (2 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.
0
2 ⟌ 1 7
0
Step 4:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (1 - 0 = 1) and write the answer below.
0
2 ⟌ 1 7
- 0
1
Step 5:
Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (7) like this:
0
2 ⟌ 1 7
- 0
1 7
Step 6:
The divisor (2) goes into the bottom number (17), 8 time(s). Therefore, put 8 on top:
0 8
2 ⟌ 1 7
- 0
1 7
Step 7:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (2 x 8 = 16) and write that answer at the bottom:
0 8
2 ⟌ 1 7
- 0
1 7
1 6
Step 8:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (17 - 16 = 1) and write the answer at the bottom.
0 8
2 ⟌ 1 7
- 0
1 7
- 1 6
1
You are done, because there are no more digits to move down from the dividend.
