Question

$$250/16$$

Evaluate

$\frac{125}{8}=15.625$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $250$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}\phantom{1}\\16\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $16$, use the next digit $5$ from dividend $250$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{2}\\16\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $5$ from dividend $250$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{3}\\16\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $16$ to $25$. We see that $1 \times 16 = 16$ is the nearest. Now subtract $16$ from $25$ to get reminder $9$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}01\phantom{4}\\16\overline{)250}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}16\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}9\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $0$ from dividend $250$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}01\phantom{5}\\16\overline{)250}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}16\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}90\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $16$ to $90$. We see that $5 \times 16 = 80$ is the nearest. Now subtract $80$ from $90$ to get reminder $10$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}015\phantom{6}\\16\overline{)250}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}16\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}90\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{9}80\phantom{}}\\\phantom{16)9}10\\\end{array}$$

Since $10$ is less than $16$, stop the division. The reminder is $10$. The topmost line $015$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $15$.

$$\text{Quotient: }15$$ $$\text{Reminder: }10$$
