How to solve (228)/(76)

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.

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{76)}\phantom{1}\\76\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $76$, use the next digit $2$ from dividend $228$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{76)}0\phantom{2}\\76\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{76)}0\phantom{3}\\76\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

Since $22$ is less than $76$, use the next digit $8$ from dividend $228$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{76)}00\phantom{4}\\76\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{76)}00\phantom{5}\\76\overline{)228}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $76$ to $228$. We see that $3 \times 76 = 228$ is the nearest. Now subtract $228$ from $228$ to get reminder $0$. Add $3$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{76)}003\phantom{6}\\76\overline{)228}\\\phantom{76)}\underline{\phantom{}228\phantom{}}\\\phantom{76)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $76$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $003$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $3$.

$$\text{Quotient: }3$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
