Question

$$257/44$$

Evaluate

$\frac{257}{44}\approx 5.840909091$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $257$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{44)}\phantom{1}\\44\overline{)257}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $44$, use the next digit $5$ from dividend $257$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{44)}0\phantom{2}\\44\overline{)257}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $5$ from dividend $257$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{44)}0\phantom{3}\\44\overline{)257}\\\end{array}$$

Since $25$ is less than $44$, use the next digit $7$ from dividend $257$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{44)}00\phantom{4}\\44\overline{)257}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $7$ from dividend $257$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{44)}00\phantom{5}\\44\overline{)257}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $44$ to $257$. We see that $5 \times 44 = 220$ is the nearest. Now subtract $220$ from $257$ to get reminder $37$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{44)}005\phantom{6}\\44\overline{)257}\\\phantom{44)}\underline{\phantom{}220\phantom{}}\\\phantom{44)9}37\\\end{array}$$

Since $37$ is less than $44$, stop the division. The reminder is $37$. The topmost line $005$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $5$.

$$\text{Quotient: }5$$ $$\text{Reminder: }37$$
