Question

$$384 \div 16$$

Evaluate

$24$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $3$ from dividend $384$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}\phantom{1}\\16\overline{)384}\\\end{array}$$

Since $3$ is less than $16$, use the next digit $8$ from dividend $384$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{2}\\16\overline{)384}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $8$ from dividend $384$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{3}\\16\overline{)384}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $16$ to $38$. We see that $2 \times 16 = 32$ is the nearest. Now subtract $32$ from $38$ to get reminder $6$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}02\phantom{4}\\16\overline{)384}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}32\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}6\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $4$ from dividend $384$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}02\phantom{5}\\16\overline{)384}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}32\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}64\\\end{array}$$

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.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}024\phantom{6}\\16\overline{)384}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}32\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{16)9}64\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{9}64\phantom{}}\\\phantom{16)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $16$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $024$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $24$.

$$\text{Quotient: }24$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
