How to solve (228)/(114)

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.

Evaluate

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $228$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{114)}\phantom{1}\\114\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $114$, use the next digit $2$ from dividend $228$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{114)}0\phantom{2}\\114\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $2$ from dividend $228$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{114)}0\phantom{3}\\114\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

Since $22$ is less than $114$, use the next digit $8$ from dividend $228$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{114)}00\phantom{4}\\114\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $8$ from dividend $228$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{114)}00\phantom{5}\\114\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $114$ to $228$. We see that $2 \times 114 = 228$ is the nearest. Now subtract $228$ from $228$ to get reminder $0$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{114)}002\phantom{6}\\114\overline{)228}\\\phantom{114)}\underline{\phantom{}228\phantom{}}\\\phantom{114)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $114$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $002$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
