Question

$$973/139$$

Evaluate

$7$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $9$ from dividend $973$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{139)}\phantom{1}\\139\overline{)973}\\\end{array}$$

Since $9$ is less than $139$, use the next digit $7$ from dividend $973$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{139)}0\phantom{2}\\139\overline{)973}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $7$ from dividend $973$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{139)}0\phantom{3}\\139\overline{)973}\\\end{array}$$

Since $97$ is less than $139$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $973$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{139)}00\phantom{4}\\139\overline{)973}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $973$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{139)}00\phantom{5}\\139\overline{)973}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $139$ to $973$. We see that $7 \times 139 = 973$ is the nearest. Now subtract $973$ from $973$ to get reminder $0$. Add $7$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{139)}007\phantom{6}\\139\overline{)973}\\\phantom{139)}\underline{\phantom{}973\phantom{}}\\\phantom{139)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $139$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $007$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $7$.

$$\text{Quotient: }7$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
