Question

$$\frac{ 179 }{ 62 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{179}{62}\approx 2.887096774$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $179$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{62)}\phantom{1}\\62\overline{)179}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $62$, use the next digit $7$ from dividend $179$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{62)}0\phantom{2}\\62\overline{)179}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $7$ from dividend $179$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{62)}0\phantom{3}\\62\overline{)179}\\\end{array}$$

Since $17$ is less than $62$, use the next digit $9$ from dividend $179$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{62)}00\phantom{4}\\62\overline{)179}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $9$ from dividend $179$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{62)}00\phantom{5}\\62\overline{)179}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $62$ to $179$. We see that $2 \times 62 = 124$ is the nearest. Now subtract $124$ from $179$ to get reminder $55$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{62)}002\phantom{6}\\62\overline{)179}\\\phantom{62)}\underline{\phantom{}124\phantom{}}\\\phantom{62)9}55\\\end{array}$$

Since $55$ is less than $62$, stop the division. The reminder is $55$. The topmost line $002$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }55$$
