Question

$$85 \div 48$$

Evaluate

$\frac{85}{48}\approx 1.770833333$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $8$ from dividend $85$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}\phantom{1}\\48\overline{)85}\\\end{array}$$

Since $8$ is less than $48$, use the next digit $5$ from dividend $85$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{2}\\48\overline{)85}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $5$ from dividend $85$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{3}\\48\overline{)85}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $48$ to $85$. We see that $1 \times 48 = 48$ is the nearest. Now subtract $48$ from $85$ to get reminder $37$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}01\phantom{4}\\48\overline{)85}\\\phantom{48)}\underline{\phantom{}48\phantom{}}\\\phantom{48)}37\\\end{array}$$

Since $37$ is less than $48$, stop the division. The reminder is $37$. The topmost line $01$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $1$.

$$\text{Quotient: }1$$ $$\text{Reminder: }37$$
