How to solve (17)/(11)

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

$$\frac{ 17 }{ 11 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{17}{11}\approx 1.545454545$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $17$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{11)}\phantom{1}\\11\overline{)17}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $11$, use the next digit $7$ from dividend $17$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{11)}0\phantom{2}\\11\overline{)17}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $7$ from dividend $17$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{11)}0\phantom{3}\\11\overline{)17}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $11$ to $17$. We see that $1 \times 11 = 11$ is the nearest. Now subtract $11$ from $17$ to get reminder $6$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{11)}01\phantom{4}\\11\overline{)17}\\\phantom{11)}\underline{\phantom{}11\phantom{}}\\\phantom{11)9}6\\\end{array}$$

Since $6$ is less than $11$, stop the division. The reminder is $6$. The topmost line $01$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $1$.

$$\text{Quotient: }1$$ $$\text{Reminder: }6$$
