Question

$$160/71$$

Evaluate

$\frac{160}{71}\approx 2.253521127$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $160$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{71)}\phantom{1}\\71\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $71$, use the next digit $6$ from dividend $160$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{71)}0\phantom{2}\\71\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $6$ from dividend $160$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{71)}0\phantom{3}\\71\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Since $16$ is less than $71$, use the next digit $0$ from dividend $160$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{71)}00\phantom{4}\\71\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $0$ from dividend $160$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{71)}00\phantom{5}\\71\overline{)160}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $71$ to $160$. We see that $2 \times 71 = 142$ is the nearest. Now subtract $142$ from $160$ to get reminder $18$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{71)}002\phantom{6}\\71\overline{)160}\\\phantom{71)}\underline{\phantom{}142\phantom{}}\\\phantom{71)9}18\\\end{array}$$

Since $18$ is less than $71$, stop the division. The reminder is $18$. The topmost line $002$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }18$$
