Question

$$224 \div 16$$

Evaluate

$14$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $224$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}\phantom{1}\\16\overline{)224}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $16$, use the next digit $2$ from dividend $224$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{2}\\16\overline{)224}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $2$ from dividend $224$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{3}\\16\overline{)224}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $16$ to $22$. We see that $1 \times 16 = 16$ is the nearest. Now subtract $16$ from $22$ to get reminder $6$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}01\phantom{4}\\16\overline{)224}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}16\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}6\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $4$ from dividend $224$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}01\phantom{5}\\16\overline{)224}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}16\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}64\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $16$ to $64$. We see that $4 \times 16 = 64$ is the nearest. Now subtract $64$ from $64$ to get reminder $0$. Add $4$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}014\phantom{6}\\16\overline{)224}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}16\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}64\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{9}64\phantom{}}\\\phantom{16)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $16$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $014$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $14$.

$$\text{Quotient: }14$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
