Question

$$252/224$$

Evaluate

$\frac{9}{8}=1.125$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $252$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{224)}\phantom{1}\\224\overline{)252}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $224$, use the next digit $5$ from dividend $252$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{224)}0\phantom{2}\\224\overline{)252}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $5$ from dividend $252$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{224)}0\phantom{3}\\224\overline{)252}\\\end{array}$$

Since $25$ is less than $224$, use the next digit $2$ from dividend $252$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{224)}00\phantom{4}\\224\overline{)252}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $2$ from dividend $252$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{224)}00\phantom{5}\\224\overline{)252}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $224$ to $252$. We see that $1 \times 224 = 224$ is the nearest. Now subtract $224$ from $252$ to get reminder $28$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{224)}001\phantom{6}\\224\overline{)252}\\\phantom{224)}\underline{\phantom{}224\phantom{}}\\\phantom{224)9}28\\\end{array}$$

Since $28$ is less than $224$, stop the division. The reminder is $28$. The topmost line $001$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $1$.

$$\text{Quotient: }1$$ $$\text{Reminder: }28$$
