How to solve (239)/(41)

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

$$\frac{ 239 }{ 41 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{239}{41}\approx 5.829268293$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $239$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{41)}\phantom{1}\\41\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $41$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $239$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{41)}0\phantom{2}\\41\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $239$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{41)}0\phantom{3}\\41\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Since $23$ is less than $41$, use the next digit $9$ from dividend $239$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{41)}00\phantom{4}\\41\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $9$ from dividend $239$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{41)}00\phantom{5}\\41\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $41$ to $239$. We see that $5 \times 41 = 205$ is the nearest. Now subtract $205$ from $239$ to get reminder $34$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{41)}005\phantom{6}\\41\overline{)239}\\\phantom{41)}\underline{\phantom{}205\phantom{}}\\\phantom{41)9}34\\\end{array}$$

Since $34$ is less than $41$, stop the division. The reminder is $34$. The topmost line $005$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $5$.

$$\text{Quotient: }5$$ $$\text{Reminder: }34$$
