Question

$$\frac{ 239 }{ 48 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{239}{48}\approx 4.979166667$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}\phantom{1}\\48\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $48$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $239$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{2}\\48\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{3}\\48\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Since $23$ is less than $48$, use the next digit $9$ from dividend $239$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}00\phantom{4}\\48\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}00\phantom{5}\\48\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $48$ to $239$. We see that $4 \times 48 = 192$ is the nearest. Now subtract $192$ from $239$ to get reminder $47$. Add $4$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}004\phantom{6}\\48\overline{)239}\\\phantom{48)}\underline{\phantom{}192\phantom{}}\\\phantom{48)9}47\\\end{array}$$

Since $47$ is less than $48$, stop the division. The reminder is $47$. The topmost line $004$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $4$.

$$\text{Quotient: }4$$ $$\text{Reminder: }47$$
