How to solve (127)/(16)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$\frac{ 127 }{ 16 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{127}{16}=7.9375$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $127$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}\phantom{1}\\16\overline{)127}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $16$, use the next digit $2$ from dividend $127$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{2}\\16\overline{)127}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $2$ from dividend $127$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{3}\\16\overline{)127}\\\end{array}$$

Since $12$ is less than $16$, use the next digit $7$ from dividend $127$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}00\phantom{4}\\16\overline{)127}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $7$ from dividend $127$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}00\phantom{5}\\16\overline{)127}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $16$ to $127$. We see that $7 \times 16 = 112$ is the nearest. Now subtract $112$ from $127$ to get reminder $15$. Add $7$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}007\phantom{6}\\16\overline{)127}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}112\phantom{}}\\\phantom{16)9}15\\\end{array}$$

Since $15$ is less than $16$, stop the division. The reminder is $15$. The topmost line $007$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $7$.

$$\text{Quotient: }7$$ $$\text{Reminder: }15$$
