How to solve (134)/(21)

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

$$\frac{ 134 }{ 21 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{134}{21}\approx 6.380952381$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $134$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}\phantom{1}\\21\overline{)134}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $21$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $134$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}0\phantom{2}\\21\overline{)134}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $134$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}0\phantom{3}\\21\overline{)134}\\\end{array}$$

Since $13$ is less than $21$, use the next digit $4$ from dividend $134$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}00\phantom{4}\\21\overline{)134}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $4$ from dividend $134$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}00\phantom{5}\\21\overline{)134}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $21$ to $134$. We see that $6 \times 21 = 126$ is the nearest. Now subtract $126$ from $134$ to get reminder $8$. Add $6$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}006\phantom{6}\\21\overline{)134}\\\phantom{21)}\underline{\phantom{}126\phantom{}}\\\phantom{21)99}8\\\end{array}$$

Since $8$ is less than $21$, stop the division. The reminder is $8$. The topmost line $006$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $6$.

$$\text{Quotient: }6$$ $$\text{Reminder: }8$$
