Question

$$55\div20$$

Evaluate

$\frac{11}{4}=2.75$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $5$ from dividend $55$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}\phantom{1}\\20\overline{)55}\\\end{array}$$

Since $5$ is less than $20$, use the next digit $5$ from dividend $55$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{2}\\20\overline{)55}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $5$ from dividend $55$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{3}\\20\overline{)55}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $20$ to $55$. We see that $2 \times 20 = 40$ is the nearest. Now subtract $40$ from $55$ to get reminder $15$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}02\phantom{4}\\20\overline{)55}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{}}\\\phantom{20)}15\\\end{array}$$

Since $15$ is less than $20$, stop the division. The reminder is $15$. The topmost line $02$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }15$$
