How to solve (16)/(14)

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

$$\frac{ 16 }{ 14 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{8}{7}\approx 1.142857143$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $16$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{14)}\phantom{1}\\14\overline{)16}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $14$, use the next digit $6$ from dividend $16$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{14)}0\phantom{2}\\14\overline{)16}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $6$ from dividend $16$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{14)}0\phantom{3}\\14\overline{)16}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $14$ to $16$. We see that $1 \times 14 = 14$ is the nearest. Now subtract $14$ from $16$ to get reminder $2$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{14)}01\phantom{4}\\14\overline{)16}\\\phantom{14)}\underline{\phantom{}14\phantom{}}\\\phantom{14)9}2\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $14$, stop the division. The reminder is $2$. The topmost line $01$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $1$.

$$\text{Quotient: }1$$ $$\text{Reminder: }2$$
