Question

$$23\div16$$

Evaluate

$\frac{23}{16}=1.4375$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $23$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}\phantom{1}\\16\overline{)23}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $16$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $23$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{2}\\16\overline{)23}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $23$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{3}\\16\overline{)23}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $16$ to $23$. We see that $1 \times 16 = 16$ is the nearest. Now subtract $16$ from $23$ to get reminder $7$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}01\phantom{4}\\16\overline{)23}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}16\phantom{}}\\\phantom{16)9}7\\\end{array}$$

Since $7$ is less than $16$, stop the division. The reminder is $7$. The topmost line $01$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $1$.

$$\text{Quotient: }1$$ $$\text{Reminder: }7$$
