Question

$$\frac{ 168 }{ 58 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{84}{29}\approx 2.896551724$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $168$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{58)}\phantom{1}\\58\overline{)168}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $58$, use the next digit $6$ from dividend $168$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{58)}0\phantom{2}\\58\overline{)168}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $6$ from dividend $168$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{58)}0\phantom{3}\\58\overline{)168}\\\end{array}$$

Since $16$ is less than $58$, use the next digit $8$ from dividend $168$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{58)}00\phantom{4}\\58\overline{)168}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $8$ from dividend $168$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{58)}00\phantom{5}\\58\overline{)168}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $58$ to $168$. We see that $2 \times 58 = 116$ is the nearest. Now subtract $116$ from $168$ to get reminder $52$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{58)}002\phantom{6}\\58\overline{)168}\\\phantom{58)}\underline{\phantom{}116\phantom{}}\\\phantom{58)9}52\\\end{array}$$

Since $52$ is less than $58$, stop the division. The reminder is $52$. The topmost line $002$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }52$$
