Question

$$\frac{ 239 }{ 42 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{239}{42}\approx 5.69047619$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}\phantom{1}\\42\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $42$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $239$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}0\phantom{2}\\42\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}0\phantom{3}\\42\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Since $23$ is less than $42$, use the next digit $9$ from dividend $239$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}00\phantom{4}\\42\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}00\phantom{5}\\42\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $42$ to $239$. We see that $5 \times 42 = 210$ is the nearest. Now subtract $210$ from $239$ to get reminder $29$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{42)}005\phantom{6}\\42\overline{)239}\\\phantom{42)}\underline{\phantom{}210\phantom{}}\\\phantom{42)9}29\\\end{array}$$

Since $29$ is less than $42$, stop the division. The reminder is $29$. The topmost line $005$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $5$.

$$\text{Quotient: }5$$ $$\text{Reminder: }29$$
