Question

$$\frac{ 148 }{ 38 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{74}{19}\approx 3.894736842$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $148$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{38)}\phantom{1}\\38\overline{)148}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $38$, use the next digit $4$ from dividend $148$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{38)}0\phantom{2}\\38\overline{)148}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $4$ from dividend $148$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{38)}0\phantom{3}\\38\overline{)148}\\\end{array}$$

Since $14$ is less than $38$, use the next digit $8$ from dividend $148$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{38)}00\phantom{4}\\38\overline{)148}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $8$ from dividend $148$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{38)}00\phantom{5}\\38\overline{)148}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $38$ to $148$. We see that $3 \times 38 = 114$ is the nearest. Now subtract $114$ from $148$ to get reminder $34$. Add $3$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{38)}003\phantom{6}\\38\overline{)148}\\\phantom{38)}\underline{\phantom{}114\phantom{}}\\\phantom{38)9}34\\\end{array}$$

Since $34$ is less than $38$, stop the division. The reminder is $34$. The topmost line $003$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $3$.

$$\text{Quotient: }3$$ $$\text{Reminder: }34$$
