Question

$$84 \div 17$$

Evaluate

$\frac{84}{17}\approx 4.941176471$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $8$ from dividend $84$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{17)}\phantom{1}\\17\overline{)84}\\\end{array}$$

Since $8$ is less than $17$, use the next digit $4$ from dividend $84$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{17)}0\phantom{2}\\17\overline{)84}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $4$ from dividend $84$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{17)}0\phantom{3}\\17\overline{)84}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $17$ to $84$. We see that $4 \times 17 = 68$ is the nearest. Now subtract $68$ from $84$ to get reminder $16$. Add $4$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{17)}04\phantom{4}\\17\overline{)84}\\\phantom{17)}\underline{\phantom{}68\phantom{}}\\\phantom{17)}16\\\end{array}$$

Since $16$ is less than $17$, stop the division. The reminder is $16$. The topmost line $04$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $4$.

$$\text{Quotient: }4$$ $$\text{Reminder: }16$$
