Question

$$54/23$$

Evaluate

$\frac{54}{23}\approx 2.347826087$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $5$ from dividend $54$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}\phantom{1}\\23\overline{)54}\\\end{array}$$

Since $5$ is less than $23$, use the next digit $4$ from dividend $54$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}0\phantom{2}\\23\overline{)54}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $4$ from dividend $54$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}0\phantom{3}\\23\overline{)54}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $23$ to $54$. We see that $2 \times 23 = 46$ is the nearest. Now subtract $46$ from $54$ to get reminder $8$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}02\phantom{4}\\23\overline{)54}\\\phantom{23)}\underline{\phantom{}46\phantom{}}\\\phantom{23)9}8\\\end{array}$$

Since $8$ is less than $23$, stop the division. The reminder is $8$. The topmost line $02$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }8$$
